Your Robot Code Repository

Where will you manage your code?

GitHub is an easy choice for most FRC teams.  Options are available, like GitLab or BitBucket, and there are many others.

Most FRC teams will be longer lived than one season.  It is recommended that teams create an Organization in GitHub to host repositories for multiple years.

Once an organization is created it is very important to have multiple people as administrators on that Organization.  As team members come and go, having multiple admins will ensure that access to the Organization is never lost.
