We couldn’t be more excited to announce that all of our paid plans on GitHub.com now include unlimited private repositories. GitHub will always be free for public and open source projects, but starting today there are just two ways to pay for GitHub.com:
One of the very best things about Git and other distributed version control systems is the ability to create a new repository without asking permission or getting approval. While this has always been true for our public plans, it hasn’t been the case for individuals and teams working together in private. All that changes today.
If you’re new to GitHub, you can sign up to start using unlimited private repositories. If you’re already using GitHub.com, read on to learn how these changes will impact you.
If you’re using GitHub for private projects, now there’s just one paid plan—unlimited private repositories for $7/month. No matter what you were paying before, your plan now includes as many repositories as you need to work on projects in private—you can even invite collaborators.
Over the next few days, we will automatically move all paid accounts, from Micro to Large, to the new plan. If you’re currently paying for one of those larger plans, look out for a prorated credit on your account.
If you’re currently paying for one of our organization plans, you’ll have the option to upgrade to unlimited private repositories at any time . For many of you, this change will mean immediate freedom from repository limits and a better way to grow and pay for GitHub.
We want everyone to have a plan with unlimited private repositories, but don’t worry—you are welcome to stay on your current plan while you evaluate the new cost structure and understand how to best manage your organization members and their private repository access. And while we’re currently not enforcing a timeline to move, rest assured that you’ll have at least 12 months notice before any mandated change to your plan.
We’ve heard from developers across our community that this new model is a better way to work. We agree—through years of building our business and developing GitHub for you, we’ve seen first hand the advantages of working without private repository limits. We hope you’ll create more repositories, write more code, and keep doing amazing things with GitHub.
As always, we’re here to help. Take a look at our new plans , learn how to update your personal or organization plan, or get in touch —we’d love to hear from you.
You must purchase a seat for each user in your GitHub.com organization. These users fill a seat:
No. At this time we are not enforcing a timeline to move and if in the future we do decide to set a timeline we are committing to giving you at least 12 months.
Yes, you can choose to continue paying based on the number of repositories you use. You can also upgrade or downgrade in the legacy repository structure based on the number of repositories you need.
Yes. A paid personal account allows you to invite collaborators directly to your private repositories. If you need more granular permissions beyond full access, an organization plan is recommended.
Now your team can spend less time managing infrastructure and more time writing code.
Register now to attend GitHub Universe virtually or in-person at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on November 9-10.
As part of GitHub Enterprise Server 3.6, enterprise customers will now be able to use GitHub Discussions.
A newsletter for developers covering techniques, technical guides, and the latest product innovations coming from GitHub.

Limits for viewing content and diffs in a repository
A repository contains all of your project's files and each file's revision history. You can discuss and manage your project's work within the repository.
You can own repositories individually, or you can share ownership of repositories with other people in an organization.
You can restrict who has access to a repository by choosing the repository's visibility. For more information, see " About repository visibility ."
For user-owned repositories, you can give other people collaborator access so that they can collaborate on your project. If a repository is owned by an organization, you can give organization members access permissions to collaborate on your repository. For more information, see " Permission levels for a personal account repository " and " Repository roles for an organization ."
With GitHub Free for personal accounts and organizations, you can work with unlimited collaborators on unlimited public repositories with a full feature set, or unlimited private repositories with a limited feature set. To get advanced tooling for private repositories, you can upgrade to GitHub Pro, GitHub Team, or GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see " GitHub's products ."
You can use repositories to manage your work and collaborate with others.
Repositories and individual files are subject to size limits. For more information, see " What is my disk quota? "
You can restrict who has access to a repository by choosing a repository's visibility: public or private.
When you create a repository, you can choose to make the repository public or private. Repositories in organizations that use GitHub Enterprise Cloud and are owned by an enterprise account can also be created with internal visibility. For more information, see the GitHub Enterprise Cloud documentation .
Organization owners always have access to every repository created in an organization. For more information, see " Repository roles for an organization ."
People with admin permissions for a repository can change an existing repository's visibility. For more information, see " Setting repository visibility ."
Certain types of resources can be quite large, requiring excessive processing on GitHub. Because of this, limits are set to ensure requests complete in a reasonable amount of time.
Most of the limits below affect both GitHub and the API.
Text files over 512 KB are always displayed as plain text. Code is not syntax highlighted, and prose files are not converted to HTML (such as Markdown, AsciiDoc, etc. ).
Text files over 5 MB are only available through their raw URLs, which are served through raw.githubusercontent.com ; for example, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife/master/index.html . Click the Raw button to get the raw URL for a file.
Because diffs can become very large, we impose these limits on diffs for commits, pull requests, and compare views:
Some portions of a limited diff may be displayed, but anything exceeding the limit is not shown.
The compare view and pull requests pages display a list of commits between the base and head revisions. These lists are limited to 250 commits. If they exceed that limit, a note indicates that additional commits are present (but they're not shown).
All GitHub docs are open source. See something that's wrong or unclear? Submit a pull request.

Stack Exchange network consists of 182 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow , the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.

Software Engineering Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professionals, academics, and students working within the systems development life cycle. It only takes a minute to sign up.
Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search.
So I just created my first GitHub repository and started to wonder if there would be any reason why somebody shouldn't post their code. I don't mean the obvious, such as code that is IP of somebody else or any other possible legal situation; I'm talking about a newbie posting their own, albeit terrible, code.
I've heard several times on this site that one of the things that a some of the hiring managers do is check out the person on Github (or similar site), so what if the code is lacking? Would the position desired—for example, if I'm going after a junior developer position instead of a senior developer position—matter?
The purpose of private repositories is to save your code without having it in the open. Such as programs that are proprietary for you at the moment and that you don't want to share. Effectively it's just a place to back-up your private code in a remote repository.
Regarding your worries that your code may be lacking if you publish things openly; you shouldn't fret too much about it. Just having an account on github (at the writing moment) tells me that you're in a higher echelon of programmers and in my experience recruiters only check the code briefly on what you've done. Even though you have some mistakes in your code it is still a better gauge for your prospective employer that you can actually do stuff , which matters more than anything.
Almost 99% of all candidates don't give any indication in their resumé on how much they can program or design a program. Heck, some "Senior Java programmers" I've met were so clueless that they didn't even know what an interface is or why they would use it.
Get an account on Bitbucket if this is a concern. Bitbucket gives you as many private (Mercurial) repositories as you want.
If you're prefer git, then read the comparison of free private repository hosting services , which focuses specifically on services that offer free private repositories.
Open source projects are generally hosted for free on these sites, so make two accounts. One for your hobby sandboxes and another that you don't mind the general public looking at. Publish the username of the good one.
There's no harm in hosting on GitHub or Bitbucket. In fact its accessible from anywhere and you can attract other developers to contribute. You could use private repos if you don't want to make projects open source.
And it depends on the hiring manager on how much impact a good github profile makes.
Can't think of anything other than shame or humility. Others have said this much better before, but those are very important personal qualities in a programmer. That's not to say that you should tell everyone how terrible your code is, but they can result in someone striving constantly to improve their work. And the field of programming is so mind-bogglingly huge that nobody can possibly learn everything, or even close to it. So be confident that while any programmer can find faults (objective or subjective) with any other programmer's code (or their own), that doesn't mean your code should be hidden away.
Take a look at this post: Is it worth listing testing or self-learning repositories on my résumé? -- I would extend it to also having it online with your name on it.
I strongly agree with the accepted answer there. The sum of all things visible about you online is your personal balance sheet. You want to make sure to display as many assets while minimizing liabilities.
If I come across your name and find some of the code you wrote, I can't tell if it's some toy program you didn't care about or if this is your best work.
I just posted my first project on GitHub myself, and I spent good amount of time making sure it is readable by someone other than myself.
If you are just looking for storage, I would take other people's advice and use one of other repositories (online or offline). Personally, I also use Perforce at home (I have no affiliation with the company) for my toy projects. It is a very mature and good product and it comes with 2 free users, so if its just for you, you get full, professional, non-crippled in any way version control system for free.
There is no harm in having public repositories. However it is true that recruiters like to browse your GitHub profile and see what you have done. If you have a mix of 'beautiful' and 'ugly' projects, you can always make a portfolio website that displays the beautiful projects, or even explains which repositories are beautiful and which are sandboxes. Also it is a good practice to describe each repository in a README.md document on the root of the repository, that way, visitors to the repository can understand the purpose and spirit of the project without having to rely on making their own judgment.
It is always possible to use BitBucket or private GitHub repositories to host your private or test projects. However, the two methods of using a portfolio and writing READMEs are usually sufficient.
To create a unifying experience, please consider publishing a portfolio website at username.github.io . This is possible through GitHub Pages .
Although your code may be terrible, it is important to consider that great projects start off terribly, code changes over time, and publishing terrible code has the advantage of showing that you are actively working on projects. But of course it is also recommended to use the usual guidelines of coding such as making sure every commit is a working commit, using testing code etc.
