I've been using git and github as backups for awhile, but they were initially so difficult to work (at least in part to me not understanding how things work) that my main backup method was just copy the whole file into a separate repo rather than directly connect the GMS 2 folder to git hub directly.
I've now figured out how to do that consistently but am running into a number of annoying errors. I want to connect my largest project to git hub but I am also afraid it will break everything.
For example - see this bug which is apparently still a thing nearly a year later: https://bugs.yoyogames.com/view.php?id=29196
My main questions are:
Also, I often have the red icons next to resources even after committing and pushing and verifying that it was successfully backed up.

My main questions are:
- Should I directly connect projects to github? (so that I can commit, push, pull, etc. - rather than just using github as a better google drive)
- If so, should I do it through GMS 2's built in system, gitbash, github, or git desktop?
- Are there still errors that will kill and corrupt my entire project?
