What does your team use to share code?

If the development laptops could get to the internet we would take a shot at GitHub, but the school district's IT department is kind of tightly wound.

Interesting on the IT department. We are able to use Github (both in AP CompSci and in Robotics, with personal and school computers) with no issue.
I strongly suggest you talk to the Site Tech or someone with administrative properties, Github is a very useful resource especially when you have more than 3 code monkeys.

I just want to make an observation about what happened on this thread. The OP asked a question about "sharing code", and the first TEN replies unanimously recommended a specific version control system and supporting website - GitHub. Unanimous, that is, except for one dissenter who acknowledged that git is the right and noble path, but confessed to using flash drives in actuality. This agreement is just one testament to the power and importance of using source control, and to the quality of Git and GitHub.

If you need more proof that Git is the way to go, consider these:

• Giant projects, like the Linux kernel source and the Android source releases are managed with git. In fact, Linus Torvalds invented git for the specific purpose of managing the kernel source.
• Perforce - whose version control system is pretty decent - is now advertising perforce/git integration and git management tools on their home page.
• I worked for a well-known company who uses Perforce heavily (in fact, they're featured on the perforce home page). And they use git all over the place, too.
• This Google trends graph shows that there's a pretty clear winner.

I found a way to bypass my school's ssh block

A word to the wise: Don't do anything that might violate the spirit of your school's intent and get you into trouble.

That's a dangerous path to follow, as Ether said. If you get into trouble, you may get computer privileges taken away for everyone, and it might even trace back to robotics and get that shut down.

You can always set your remotes to the HTTPS url instead of the SSH one and not be bypassing anything

By bypass I mean that I found that my school only blocks port 22, so following this guide (https://help.github.com/articles/usi...he-https-port/) I used port 443

Our school set up every student with a Google account with unlimited Google Drive space. We put the programs into a zip file and upload and share it through google drive.

Don't underestimate the power of using a source code control/management system for sharing your code as opposed to just an online dump. The added functionality of merging portions of the code being worked on by multiple students will save huge amounts of time in tracking down and fixing bugs as well as lost productivity due to code being overwritten by someone else inadvertently.

I understand completely the desire to use online space free of charge. We were able to set that up using SourceForge and use an SVN interface to provide the SCM functionality... all free of charge. I would be happy to post info here if anyone would like details.

We just use a flash drive that we lock up every night. it is kind of old fashioned but it keeps all of our code safe and gives us easy access to all of our code going back several years and we have daily backups of code to go back to if a file is corrupted.
