Agreed, Github does not make sense for small consulting companies. We have hundreds of repositories (way more than the Github top plan) and only 10 employees. We have been hosting our own git server (previously Gitorious and now Gitlab) and haven't looked back. Way more economic than Github enterprise. I guess these days Bitbucket or hosted Gitlab would also be a reasonable alternative.
- Argorak 14y agoWe solved that by having the client decide on the code hosting. If the client decides for Github, he is expected to create an Organization and pay for the private repos he uses.
- gm 14y agoWhat kind of clients do you have? If I asked my clients what code repo to use and then asked them to set up a github org, they laugh me out of their building, probably making some sort of comment that I turned my problem into their problem. Maybe you have tech-savvy clients who care about source control. Mine only care that I do what I said I'd do when I said I'd do it.
- Argorak 14y agoLarge and small companies, most somehow technology-minded, but not fully. The ploy is easy: if they set up the org, they have full control over it, even in the case that everything goes downhill and all of us get hit by a bus. Most people nowadays have seen a tech project going downhill with the freelancer leaving with the keys for the castle. No technological argument. At all.
