hard to do a crash course in one post not knowing size of the team, schedule, methodology etc - but generally:
you need a priv repo to share code of course. With proper user/group permissions, on top of that sign proper paperwork with devs before giving them access to the repo (your new startup client will thank you later)
daily calls are good... but make them quick ones ie:
what a dev did yesterday
what is he/she going to do today
what blockages they face
weekly calls (Friday eve to close the week, Monday morning to plan) - are good if you need to react on changes
slack can be too distracting - especially for devs who need to stay in the flow
Regarding project management - have a look at Kanban - and this video by Eric Brechner an Xbox development manager is gold www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKWvm…
mistakes? biggest f-ups happen when there is
lack of communication... when no one knows priorities and goals (short and long terms) - and do what THEY think is the most important
mess in code/documentation/project... - it's all good when there is 2 - 5 devs - but when you expect to get 20, 50 etc - some proper procedures need to be implemented
saying YES to too many things by lead developer / management (if something takes 3 weeks to develop and you promise to deliver it in 1 week - it's doable but there is some cost and Karma will get back to you in the future :P)

Trello / Asana - are good to plan and track work
depends on team size / schedule - you can try things like this weekdone.com/development-team…
