I thought GitHub free user repos are required to be open source.
- mattrighetti 5y agoI have a college student pro account, for free, so yeah :)
- mtmail 5y agoGithub changed their pricing model last year. Everybody, individuals or companies, can have unlimited private and public repositories.
- Kwpolska 5y agoNo, GitHub never required your code to be open-source. In the past, free accounts couldn’t create private repositories. Nowadays, they can, but those private repositories are limited. A public repository does not need to contain open-source code, or even any code at all. I imagine the repo just contained a README, and that’s completely fine GitHub-wise — why would GitHub mandate people to have code in repos?
