Rosetta Site

Hello. I really like to "rummage" for some interesting codes on the Rosetta site which seems to me really relevant. I learnt many, many things especially about the C++ language. However the site is obsolete today (waiting a fresh update since a few years) - and it does not allow a pleasant visit (each click on link requires a lot of patience). Is there somewhere on the web some sites with a similar concept - a large contribution from the users? I know GitHub, W3school and consorts, but I talk about short relevant codes. Thank you for your help ++

Out of scope. I would like to share some codes which I had written before. Where can I do that? Here?

Share code via git on github.

Don't know how to use git? A free pdf book....
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

I learned a lot about git reading that pdf.

Don't have git installed? Get the latest version that includes a GUI and several useful tools like Git Bash....
https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are also various GUI client interfaces available from the download link above. They improve on the very basic GUI the git installer provides.
Hello George P. Obviously GitHub is a Must Have.
I have to take a look at all links which you shared with me...
It seems to me that Visual Studio allows to import/export a project on GitHub. It could be useful as a GUI ++
I am not as conversant with Git as I should be, same lack of in-depth knowledge about SVN. The PDF I linked I've just glanced at from time to time. My attention lately has been on core C++20 scrapings.

Being a solo self-taught programming hobbyist I have never really needed what Git and SVN offer.

I like TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit, both integrate into the Windows® File Explorer shell with right-click context menu options. Lots of options, but not a huge chunk of real estate space taken up by the two apps on my HDs.
Git != Github
The former is a free computer program, but the latter is a service provided by Microsoft which cares only for profit.
@mbozzi, if you don't like github do you have a suggestion of another storage site? One you do like?

All the library packages I deal with are available on github.
Github is here to stay. MS is behaving itself now, but it is kind of like putting the cat in charge of the fish — MS has historically been antagonistic to OS and hobbyist programmers (even given its history).

You can read What is wrong with Microsoft buying GitHub? at YCombinator for more context:

If you want an alternative site, a lot of OS developers went to https://gitlab.com.
I used to work for a US technology chain store company* that had a store near MS headquarters, WA State, USA. More than once I'd see MS employees come in and buy in one transaction several tens of thousands of dollars on MS company credit cards for Mac hardware and software, hardware that would be used for Linux distros. US$30-80 thousand at a pop.

And we ain't talking bottom of the heap hardware either. Top o' the line for the time, mid to late 1990's/very early 2000's. Nor was it a "once in the blue moon" transaction either. It happened every 5-8 weeks.

*Anyone remember "CompUSA"?
