Except, their pricing starts at $2,500 per year for 10 devs. Holy shit.
I'll bet they sell scads of it to companies with more money than they know what to do with, but that seems crazy to me. As wonderful as github is, it's still just source control.
Here's hoping gitorious will get sanely installable at some point (i.e. `apt-get install gitorious`, not "oh my god": http://gitorious.org/gitorious/pages/UbuntuInstallation http://gitorious.org/gitorious/pages/UbuntuInstallation). I'd pay something for that.
- steveklabnik 16y agoSeems totally reasonable to me. That's not that much money for an actual business expense. If you have such Super Ultra Secrets that they Must Be Kept On Your Servers, or else The World Breaks!!!!1, then you can afford to pay good money to keep it safe. I'd argue that it's still pretty cheap. Compared to ten salaries?
- cemerick 16y agoSuper-ultra-secrets has nothing to do with it (though if you're a small shop, pointing the finger at github if/when confidential stuff flies the coop isn't going to go over well with certain clients). My code (and other assets) are important to me; if it ends up on a torrent server in china, that's bad. Github's security is better than mine, but I'm not a honeypot either. Perhaps the formal probabilities are against me; I guess I'm irrational in a few ways.
- steveklabnik 16y agoTruth. I do so much open source work that I'm not used to being in that kind of position.
