That only gives you public repos. For one, they said that 40% of that 1M is gists (which would make it ~400k, which is more than the number of public repos. Which I guess makes sense since there are probably people that create a new gist almost every single day.) Also, there are lots of private repos that won't show up on the repo-browsing page.
- viraptor 16y agoIt's true that there are private repos, but with ~600k project repos and 252k public... I find it hard to believe that the rest are private. If they had ~350k private repos, they'd get between 385k$ and 490k$ per month - I assume that would be big news mentioned somewhere already...
