I personally like the bitbucket method. I get my private repos free, but I can only work with 5 people on them before I have to start paying.

- LeifCarrotson 11y agoAgreed. The goal should be accurate market segmentation. Students, open-source devs, and hobbyists pay little or nothing, small shops pay some, and large enterprises pay more. Collaborator count seems to do that better than most metrics.
- piotrkubisa 11y agoIt is worth noting that GitHub organizes the Student Developer Pack[1] which comes with a Micro plan ($7 - max 5 repos). It means GitHub will offer unlimited public and private repos for 2-3 years for students who were selected. [1]: https://education.github.com/pack https://education.github.com/pack
- lucasnemeth 11y agoIt says you will be able to add a few collaborators. So I think it will be very similar in the end.
- maaaats 11y agoExcept that you have to pay for GitHub.
- mcphage 11y agoWhich I already was. Now I'm paying less, and getting more.
- maaaats 11y agoBut since they now are limiting the number of contributors to your private repos, you might as well use BitBucket for free.
- mcphage 11y agoI do, some? When I bumped up against the repo limit in GitHub, and didn't want to increase my account size. But it always felt like a cheap knock-off, so I don't spend much time there; generally I'd clear out an older repo, or just bump up my account.
