How is github expensive if github is FREE!?
All you would have to do is open source your projects, and pay a big fat $0 per month. Just .gitignore your sensitive data files like database credentials, api keys, etc. If you are using something like capistrano to deploy, all you would have to do is upload these files to your server, then hook a function onto the deploy action that symlinks the sensitive files back into place.
You can't possibly complain about FREE now can you?
P.S. I love github (and pay 7 big ones a month even though I don't really have a job and am running out of money like its nobody's business)
- d0m 16y agoonly public repository are free. School project can hardly be public since that would be called cheating.

FWIW - isn't it kind of backwards that public code encourages cheating? Shouldn't we all be working together anyway? I have learned nearly everything I know from studying, and copy/pasting code from people better than me. What a shame =(
- robryan 16y agoI think the problem is that assignments are usually don't have much variation in the end code, meaning someone stands to gain just by being able to copy public code. If the assignments were more open ended it could allow that type of class collaboration and in the end everyone could learn more.
