  Your repository has been made public, with code inserted to serve ads to users. Please note that the revenue for the ads will be sent to the copyright holders, and your access to the repo has been revoked. Also note that this is our final communication on this matter.

    Your private repositories have been locked unless you pay money. You cannot set the private repo to public, you must pay. Except GitHub actually tried to do that to me for real, and failed. Luckily, they unlocked the repos while trying to charge me (no billing details on my account, so... nice try?) and I was able to snag my code back without being extorted for money. At no time was I given the option to opt-out of private repos. My only other option had they not screwed up was to pay.

      Out of curiosity, how did this happen? Were you on a trial / student plan that expired?
