Yay! No more bitbucket for all my private repos. I wonder if this change is because of competition?

Re: Introducing unlimited private repositories
#12Does anyone know if this will effect student plans as well? So far it included a free micro plan with the usual 5 private repos. Would be pretty awesome, I just had to host a repo somewhere else a few days ago because I ran out of private repos.
Other than that it sounds like a great improvement, it'll make it a lot more likely that I'll pay for GitHub when I'm not a student anymore.
/edit: https://github.com/pricing makes it sound like this is for free student plans as well

#13This is, of course, a positive way to spin the fact that they're raising prices significantly for many organizations. I'm glad there's at least a year that we can keep using the old plans.

#14Do outside collaborators count as paid users?
Re: Introducing unlimited private repositories
#15Its unfortunate that this doesn't promote trying to get business users to look at the code. In our organization 3 or 4 users are read only and really just go in at times to check specific errors, or logic for certain SQL queries, they don't really contribute. We will now have to pay $9 per month for these type of "read only" users.

BitBucket allows unlimited private repos for free; GitHub's seems to be just for the paid plans?
Re: Introducing unlimited private repositories
#17Seems like a good move, it's unclear to me what the difference is between Personal & Organization.

If you are interpreting this post as suggesting that github private repos are free, you are mistaken. It just means that if you pay for private repos, you don't have to worry about how many of them you have.

#19With this change, BitBucket pricing [0] gets to appear pretty attractive. (If you were an organization with few private repositories and large number of users, Github was earlier more affordable.) [0] https://bitbucket.org/product/pricing?tab=cloud-pricing
It was already pretty attractive: Personal accounts get free unlimited repos (so inf% cheaper than github), and for organizations with few numbers of users but a huge number of repositories, github's largest plan was too small. :)

Under the billing tab in my account it says: "Sit tight! We’re in the process of upgrading your account to unlimited private repositories."
