I intend to share my source code on an invite-only basis to a few dozen users maybe. The source code itself should not be public. Participants are allowed and encouraged to submit their changes. So I need source control, preferably Git, hosted on a public server with private access for multiple users.
I learned that it is possible to set up private Git repositories on GitHub which use https:// links. On GitHub itself such a project does not show up in searches. For participating users the project shows a "lock" icon. So there are obviously private repositories; I just don't know how set one up. A lot of tutorials use SSH to set up private repositories but they all require you to have "your own server".
I don't care about secure connections when pushing/pulling source code nor do I have trust issues with GitHub. All I care about is giving access only to users I invite. Maybe I'm naive and such a solution is only available via commercial hosting (e.g., Unfuddle , Assembla ), but if not, I'd really like to know how it's done!

On January 7th 2019, GitHub announced free and unlimited private repositories for all GitHub users, paying or not. When creating a new repository, you can simply select the Private option.
Bitbucket - Their plans seem to be the best. They give you way more than GitHub do for free accounts - in fact, I'm still only using the free plan - no need to sign up to the paid ones; plus the interface is almost identical to GitHub.
A repository on Bitbucket can have up to five private users with unlimited public or private repositories - the only thing you seem to be paying for with the paid accounts are more users to access your private repositories.
If you are a student you can get a free private repository at https://github.com/edu
As noted in another answer , now there is an option for private repos also for simple users
GitHub is a great tool in-all for making repositories. However, it does not do good with private repositories.
You're forced to pay for private repositories unless you get some sort of plan. I have a couple of projects so far, and if GitHub doesn't do what I want I just go to Bitbucket. It's a bit harder to work with than GitHub, however it's unlimited free repositories.
Since January 7th, 2019, it is possible: unlimited free private repositories on GitHub!
... But for up to three collaborators per private repository.
Today(!) we’re thrilled to announce unlimited free private repos for all GitHub users, and a new simplified Enterprise offering:
For the first time, developers can use GitHub for their private projects with up to three collaborators per repository for free.
Many developers want to use private repos to apply for a job, work on a side project, or try something out in private before releasing it publicly.
Starting today, those scenarios, and many more, are possible on GitHub at no cost.
Public repositories are still free (of course—no changes there) and include unlimited collaborators.
Once you have a paid account on GitHub, it is not obvious how to create a private repository. To create a private repository for an organization with paid account, go to https://github.com/organizations/MYORGANIZATIONNAME .
The only way I've figured how to navigate there is:
Since Jan 2019, GitHub allows private repositories for up to three collaborators.
Here is the comparison for free plans listed by tree main Git Cloud based solutions:
Here is the comparison for paid plans listed by tree main Git Cloud based solutions:
I'm not seeing people mentioning GitLab here, but it seems like the best free private plan for me. I myself am using it with no problems.
GitHub: If you have a student account or want to pay for $7 monthly, GitHub has the biggest community and you can take advantage of it's public repositories, forks, etc.
Bitbucket: If you use other products from Atlassian like Jira or Confluence , Bitbucket works great with them.
GitLab: Everything that I care about (free private repository, number of private repositories, number of collaborators, etc.) are offered for free. This seems like the best choice for me.

Master Git basics and branch into DVCS

The ability to create a private GitHub repository for free is not a drastic change, but it is a welcome one.

Until now, the most compelling reason to opt into the GitHub Pro paid product was because it enabled you to create a private repository. Developers could use GitHub's free offering -- with a comprehensive suite of tools, including branch protection rules, pull requests and project metrics -- but every line of committed code was publicly accessible. Now, that's all going to change.
As of Jan. 7, 2019, a developer can create a private GitHub repository in the free tier. Any software developers who want to try something new, experiment with a new language or start a project they don't want their current employer to know about will no longer have the associated source code be part of the public domain.
Both GitLab and Atlassian's Bitbucket offerings -- two of GitHub's largest competitors -- provide this freemium feature to their free-tier users. In some respects, GitHub is simply catching up with the competition.
As with any change, one tends to worry about the law of unintended consequences. With GitHub, the public and open nature of the repositories made it a household name. The ability to find code written by fellow developers who previously solved your problem is one of GitHub's biggest contributions to the programming community. Let's hope the option to create private repositories won't truncate the amount of code developers share openly and publicly with each other.
Free private GitHub repositories have some restrictions placed upon them. One is that no more than three contributors can work on a private GitHub repository. That's fine for individual development or for someone who works on a small project where input from a few peers is required. But for private GitHub repos with more than three contributors, you'll need to open your wallet and pay the monthly fee for the GitHub Pro offering.
Other features pruned from free public GitHub repositories include the ability to apply branch protection rules, the integration of GitHub Pages and the ability to create a project wiki . To enable these features, a project either needs to be made public or a user needs to upgrade to a GitHub Pro account.
New to Git and distributed version control? Here are some Git and GitHub tutorials designed to help you master the popular source code versioning tool:
Currently, GitHub Pro costs $7 a month on an individual basis. This option allows for more than three contributors, and it includes built-in code review tools that notify fellow contributors when there's a pull request .
Additionally, there are two other GitHub paid offerings : GitHub Team and GitHub Enterprise. These subscriptions come with extended features and are available for $9 and $21 per month, respectively.
In the competitive world of source code management services, GitHub has eliminated one of the primary reasons that developers historically made Bitbucket or GitLab their first choice for a source code hosting service. The ability to create a private GitHub repository for free is not a drastic change, but it is a welcome one.

Making a GitHub App public or private
Changing who can install your GitHub App
When setting up a GitHub App, you can make its installation public so any GitHub user or organization can install the app, or private so you can only install it on the account that created it.
For authentication information, see " Authenticating with GitHub Apps ."
Public installation flows have a landing page to enable other people besides the app owner to install the app in their repositories. This link is provided in the "Public link" field when setting up your GitHub App. For more information, see " Installing GitHub Apps ."
Private installation flows allow only the owner of a GitHub App to install it. Limited information about the GitHub App will still exist on a public page, but the Install button will only be available to organization administrators or the personal account if the GitHub App is owned by an individual account. Private GitHub Apps can only be installed on the user or organization account of the owner.
To change who can install the GitHub App:
In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, then click Settings .
In the left sidebar, click Developer settings .

In the left sidebar, click GitHub Apps .

Select the GitHub App whose installation option you want to change.

In the left sidebar, click Advanced .

Depending on the installation option of your GitHub App, click either Make public or Make private .

Depending on the installation option of your GitHub App, click either Yes, make this GitHub App public or Yes, make this GitHub App private .
