I can only speak for myself, but I had simply put all of my private stuff over in GitLab instead. For folks like me, this will result in no external change. Just a question of where I stash stuff.
Yeah, I've just been using bitbucket for this purpose for years.
One thing I like about bitbucket/atlassian over github is bitbucket's pipelines[1] and the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file. I really wish github had something like that. [1] https://bitbucket.org/product/features/pipelines
Github does have "Actions" which is their version of this which is in beta: https://github.com/features/actions https://developer.github.com/actions/creating-github-actions...
It may be myopic, but the only major reason I can think of is visibility if you plan on publicizing the repo at some point. But you can achieve this by using GitHub as a mirror for your main repo on another platform (at least for GitLab, I’m not familiar with BitBucket).
Edit: Personally, I use GitLab (both .com and I've set up/maintain several sefl-hosted solutions). I originally tried out GitLab due to lack of private repos on GitHub, and I don't see a reason I should switch back at this point. The open development and attitude towards the product and community has been part of that.
Can a Github.io website be freely hosted with a private repo?
While I think this is a great move, don't forget that private repos also means no more free Travis CI. Gitlab CI however offers 2,000 build minutes a month with their integrated CI service. Even if your whole set up takes 10 minutes to build on CI, that's 200 builds a month which is plenty for an individual project that's on a private repo. In other words, I think Gitlab's free private repos + CI is still a better ch…
While understandable, this is sad to see. The amount of interesting and useful code that is currently available due to GitHub defaulting to public will likely be seriously negatively impacted by this.
I'm curious if GitHub is now a loss leader for Microsoft, or if personal subscriptions were a small portion of their revenue.
I have zero insight on this but I also don't know anyone in my circle who pays individually for Github... When they need that, they use Bitbucket. I know several people I worked for or did business with that paid for Organization accounts, from Team to Enterprise.
I wish I had waited a few more days now.
For those of you using GitLab, BitBucket, or , does this make you consider switching back at all? If so, why? It may be myopic, but the only major reason I can think of is visibility if you plan on publicizing the repo at some point.

I'm also just much more comfortable with GitHub since I use it daily in my day job.
