[tlug] GitHub Private Repos Are Now Free

[Curt Sampson <cjs@example.com>]

I just noticed that, since the start of this year, GitHub now allows
users on free accounts to create private repos. (There's no limit on
the number.) The main restriction here now as compared to paid
accounts is that you can add no more than three collaborators to a
private repo.

I think that this is a brilliant move because it makes it a whole heck
of a lot easier, when you want to chuck together a small experiment or
whatever to share with a partner or two, to quickly pop up a shared
repo for it without having to worry about whether you really want to
make the contents public. If you keep in mind that Git is great not
just for code but for a documentation dump, meeting notes and agendas,
and many other things (with GitHub doing a nice rendering of your
Markdown documents), my enthusiasm might make more sense.

And...oooo...could it be that Microsoft is in part responsible for
making GitHub even better? [Cue flamewar here.]
