- bliker 13y agoIdeal for semester project. Works great! Made my day. Thanks Github
- ihuman 13y agoIs it renewable if you're still a student after the year is up?
- aspir 13y agoYes, you'll need to reapply after the two year period, but the turnaround is quick.
- trvz 13y agoTwo years.
- jeremymcanally 13y agoIt's actually free until you graduate. :) You just have to re-up every two years.
- kshahar 13y ago+1 for bitbucket, I keep all of my private projects there.
- JoshGlazebrook 13y ago+1 Bitbucket has unlimited free private repos anyways. Adding your .edu just gives you the ability to have unlimited collaborators.
- suyash 13y ago+1 for Bitbucket, unless you want to deal with the hassle of moving over from github to bitbucket when you no longer qualify as a student.
- tekacs 13y agoOr... you can pay $7/mo, given that as a nom-student you can probably afford that much? :P
- drdaeman 13y agoWhy pay for something that you can get easily for free from a competitor?
- blackhorus 13y agoYeah, seriously.. Why would you pay $7.. do you like wasting your money...
- tripzilch 13y ago> Or... you can pay $7/mo, given that as a nom-student you can probably afford that much? :P What's a "nom student"? Does that mean graduated? Because he didn't say that. Or does it mean "landed a high paying job"? Cause not everybody does or can be certain they will. There is one thing you can be certain of however, and that is that you will be up to your neck in student loan debt. Paying $7/mo is not always a justifiable expense. Sure in many cases your assumption is correct, but you could be a tiny bit less flippant about it.
