Honestly this has never been a problem for me. How many private repos do you really need? It can't cost that much per month. The things most people are working on just aren't that important. Or better yet, they _benefit_ from being public.
- dangrossman 13y agoI'm like the guy you replied to. I make a lot of repos in the course of work, play, and learning. Most of them I'd like to keep around, including history. I could fit everything on one CD; storage is cheap. Github would want $100/month to host those repositories. BB wants nothing, or http://repositoryhosting.com http://repositoryhosting.com will host them all with backups for $6. I don't have to think about costs when typing "git init", and I don't have to think about scrubbing passwords/keys/personal information when typing "git push"; repo-count pricing and public by default have high psychological overhead. GH's pricing doesn't work for me, so I don't keep my private repos there. Not a big deal, but I also don't think it indicates there's something wrong with how I work, the value of my code, or how I spend my money.
- eropple 13y agoI have 38 private repos on Bitbucket. None benefit me by being public.
- drivebyacct2 13y agoSeriously? I have 20 different Git repos for various things that either can't or simply don't make sense to be public. Sure, GitHub's great and I have a paid account with them (not even the minimum), but I certainly have to rely on BitBucket as well.
