Git and open source license

I'm in the habit of using Git for everything and including an open source license with all of my projects I'm not intending to sell. This leaves me with 2 questions:

  • Can I include a Git repository with the project files? Or should I remove it before uploading the project files? For clarity, I don't intend to add any extra information to the Git history, beyond the exact changes that I make.
  • Can I include an open source license with the game files? I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that adding a license is a net addition to rights, as it possibly allows for more rights compared to what itch.io allows. I'd prefer to use a GPL3 license, but I'm willing to use Mit or Apache as well if that is more preferred.

I'm not even sure if I can even make enough time to join, although I'm going to try my best to join day 1 at least. Anyway I'm looking forward to the jam if I manage to join!
