How do I export the project files so I can share them with my brother so he has a copy of my project he can look at it and help me fix errors?

Two ways that I go about it (1) compress all the project files into a zip file and then have your brother extract on his computer (2) create a repository on GitHub that he can clone on his computer

Using version control, like Git, is the correct way to do it if your brother is going to be changing stuff in your code. This way, each of you can have your own copies of the code without affecting each other. It also makes merging changes to code easier if both of you make changes to the same thing.

Yeah WhtLotus is correct I just wasn't sure if your brother was going to glance at your code or if he was going to make changes himself. If he is making changes to the code than absolutely version control is a lifesaver. Here is a quick tutorial on how to set up version control with GitHub if you want to go with that tool.
