At a minimum, 4.3k stars is not enough, because I don't qualify.
- meibo 4y agoThis is curious - I maintain 2 projects with 2k cumulative stars, and I was able to claim the free access. Wonder what the metric is? Maybe creation date has something to do with it?
- baby 4y agoIf you want to check if you qualify: https://github.com/github-copilot/free_signup https://github.com/github-copilot/free_signup
- samth 4y agoYeah that just redirects me to the paid page. I do wish the criteria were a little more transparent.
- kevincox 4y agoI get " Congratulations! You are eligible to use GitHub Copilot for free." that was unexpected but in retrospect https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/ https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/ is pretty popular. (Currently 9.8k stars)
- acro5piano 4y agoI have a repository with 625 stars, but it redirects to the subscription page.

- thamer 4y agoReporting on my own experience, I got access to Copilot a few days after it was announced and am currently not expected to pay for it. I started a project that currently has 9.4k stars (now mostly maintained by someone else), and still maintain a project that has 2.5k stars.
- samth 4y agoSomeone from GitHub reached out to me because of this comment and said they were fixing it. The problem is that Racket's license file isn't simple enough for their automated tools.
