I happily push even the low quality stuff I make.
Some of the repos aren't even meant to be used as is, but is just full of other spaghetti with some parts properly done, which I then tell the intended recipient to pick out of. But still, the whole thing is available for the world to see.

Even the good ones have a pretty casual git log. I only really try to make stuff pretty, when giving code to other's projects and even then, I will be pretty casual in the commit messages for the MR, which I then intend on squashing later.

I kind of like this. When I'm searching for how to do something, I probably don't want your entire codebase, just don't snippet that does the thing.

I'll probably need to modify it so the thing works in a specific way, so I can make what I need to make.

Usually I just need a point in the right direction and I can assemble the rest.
