- timvisee 8y agoThis will be available tomorrow, they published the post too early. Also note that these private repositories are limited to 3 collaborators.
- Voloskaya 8y agoThis is available right now. GitHub released the feature earlier than planned.

- maypeacepreva1l 8y agoThis move makes sense IMO. There are a lot of Hello world public repos out there which is actually crowding search results and inflating number of "open source projects" in Github.
- INTPenis 8y agoTwo reasons I use gitlab. 1) Private repos, 2) supporting an open source alternative to Big Git(hub). This is an amazing move but reason #2 is too important for me ideologically.
- yunruse 8y agoThe problem I think GitHub has is that is has too many proprietary extensions onto the Git format that don’t have an equivalent in the Git format: issue tracking and versions, off the top of my head. I don’t to say blame GH for having an incentive, as it’s hard to say I have my eggs in GitHub’s basket: if I needed to move to another provider my code is already in my projects folder, and I can manually move any open issues over. Still, it’d be a wonderful gesture from Microsoft to the OSS world of they made such features an open-source extension to Git.
