What's a good alternative for free private repos?

#102No we won’t. Details here https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/updates-to-gi... For users of Free, Pro and Pro+ Copilot, if you don’t opt out then we will start collecting usage data of Copilot for use in model training. If you are a subscriber for Business or Pro we do not train on usage. The blog post covers more details but we do not train on private repo data at rest, just interaction data with Copilot.…
If Copilot later adds a feature like "Scan your repo for vulnerabilities using Copilot ", then that would both fit your criteria, and the baiting outrage of the original poster, in one swoop! Of course, Microsoft would _never_ do that, right?

#103They just lost my repos. I can not believe they snuck this in. My level of anger right now is far higher that I ever wanted to feel. I went to API access for anthropic, paying more in the process, to avoid them training on my code. And GH just -adds- this, without telling me? Without a prompt. They are dead to me.
make sure you opt-out anyway before deleting your account. they'll probably train on some archived version if it sees your profile didn't opt-out at some point.

> If you don’t use Copilot this will not affect you.
How does this work for a private repository with access granted to additional contributors? Which setting is consulted then?
Re: If you don't opt out by Apr 24 GitHub will train on your private repos
#105This headline is false; it will not go take your private repos and dump them into a training dataset. Rather, GitHub will train on your copilot interactions with your private repos. If you do not use copilot, this makes no difference to you, though you should probably still turn it off.
That's also my read of the flag. But if they can train co pilot on input, I don't see what prevents them from training copilot on the code itself. In a court case they would simply say the opt in meant we can train from input. That's all we did.

Say someone has a very sensitive secret (say, a Bitcoin private key) in their free private Github repo, and uses Copilot on that repo and touches the secret with it. Would you be willing to assure here that toggling that setting would not affect the likelihood of that secret leaking, and that that likelihood is also unaffected by whether the account is Business or Free?

Even the way modern software phrases questions is rapey. Imagine a man asking a woman “want to have sex? Or maybe later?” out of the blue, then asking her again every 3 days until she says “yes”
Something like "tea and consent": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZwvrxVavnQ Yeah, it ain't sex, but it does still come down to basic respect.

#108If even one person in a repo does not disable this will copilot have full access to the repo? How can I determine if other members of my team have turned this off or not?
The same way you can't determine whether a team member pulling the repo dumped the code into a prompt.
It's convenient for MS to make this opt in by default for sure.

Yes I think you are right. Even a super ethical company can be taken over. There may be exceptions but it is more luck. I work for a SP500 that absolutely won't dont this and locks down prod access so a rogue staff can't do it. But if Larry or Zuck or Bezos buys them out, who knows.
Microsoft would never do this (-:
I don't like when people make sarcastic remarks and sign off in a way that indicates it was sarcasm. It kills it for me. Lol.
Like using that /s or using that smiling emoji sign you used.
A good joke would land even if some other people miss it because of the text format.
"Microsoft would never do this" would have landed for me.

So you will train on data collected from free users working on GPL and copyrighted projects?
