I don't know of any source code client like git or svn for DOS or FreeDOS.
But I haven't looked recently.

My recommendation is to put it on GitHub. I used to have a GitHub, but I
never used it, so I deleted my account. But now that I have new project
stuff that I want to keep working on and collaborate on, I'm planning to
create a new GitHub account and put my stuff there.

I like the ability to organize your stuff a little easier on GitHub,
compared to Sourceforge. I like the svn repo on Sourceforge and I have
stuff hosted there, but I'm thinking my newer, bigger stuff will probably
go on GitHub.

To migrate, I recommend doing it a bit at a time. Take an afternoon and
just focus on one project. Migrate the code, commit, label, verify - then
migrate the next version, repeat. Then spend a different day/afternoon to
focus on another project, until you're done.
