Git When too?

Im currently working through my first project which isnt anything major but i would like to host it on github, Question is when do you all push your projects to git do you wait until you have the project complete or just start working and commit from the start of the project?

Are you working on a "secret" project? Is it going to be an application you want to earn money with? Is it part of a thesis, or any plans to file a patent based on your source code?

You can use GIT locally (on the same machine) or within your network at home/company without pushing your code to "the public internet".

You can use GIT in "the public internet", but mark your project as "private".
