Hi chaps, I'm not terribly sure how to go about this. I've got a small site where I want to add some files for people - well me since nobody will ever use that website - to download, a sort of repository if you like a bit like github maybe, but i'm not entirely sure how. Can I use github only for a few files (in other words, is github free considering I don't have an awful lot of files) or does anybody have another suggestion? The way I picture the whole thing in my head is to have the files directly downloadable from my site rather than going somewhere else. How feasible is that? A very quick look on google brought back only github related results...
thanks
