@trashheap Very true. One step at a time, don't fret over stuff you haven't done yet or aren't doing right now. Everything you do to move toward a better position is a step in the right direction; the rest can come later.

@Ruth_Mottram I think the question you should ask yourself is: do you feel comfortable requiring students to sign up for Github, which is owned by Microsoft? Because yes even though there is a good chance that most of them already have a Github account, that's still further reinforcing that dependency.You have an opportunity to show that alternatives exist and are usable.
