It's not even shame. There are two kinds of software developer. Those that just appreciate everyone else doing the same as them. And those that will not tolerate anyone:
Not sharing code is usually just to avoid the latter type, who will appear and seemingly have a lot of time to check every line of code you've ever produced :P
Most people get over it during uni when everyone is arguing over "X vs Y" language or "vim vs productivity". At some point you realize how pointless these debates are and continue with your life.
For anyone wanting to publish their code, remember it's probably better than most OSS code. If you don't believe that go read a python or js library:
I still love those libraries, use them at my work and will recommend them to anyone with similar needs as I.
Last but not least, if you aren't using git something is wrong with you ๐คฃ.

I actually migrated once from VSS to putting my source code in a .zip file and emailing it to myself.
