Plus I'm sure under Microsoft they will have some sort of free private repos like GitLab, Bitbucket and Visual Studio Team Services already do.
Lack of free private repos is the main (only) reason why I don't use GitHub.
- scjr 8y agoWhat do you base this on?
- sker 8y ago1. They already have such offering (VS Team Services). 2. Their competitors (GitLab, Bitbucket) already have that offering. 3. I don't think they're interested in GitHub for its revenue, but for its strategic value. GitHub has to protect its revenue model by disallowing free private repos, Microsoft can afford to be more flexible. 4. They've already made similar moves. They acquired Xamarin, which was expensive, and made it free.
- Alupis 8y agoWhen did you last look at GitHub? They've had free private repos for well over a year (maybe longer). I have ~50 private on my account... Embarrassingly bad half-completed side projects mostly.
- TAForObvReasons 8y agoGitHub private repos are still $7/month, but available for free as part of the education discount
- scarface74 8y agoVSTS, Microsoft's hosted TFS solution, gives you unlimited private git repos for up to 5 users, 40 hours worth of hosted builds per month, complete project management, a private markdown based Wiki, and free orchestration of local build and deployment agents.
- 8_hours_ago 8y agoHuh? Not that I see. Private repos require a paid plan.
