It's worth noting the differences here for students too - bottom line is that despite all the awesome deals Github have procured for students [0] Bitbucket completely dominate here. Github offer a free micro account - 5 private repos, unlimited collaborators. Even without a student offer Bitbucket offer unlimited private repos with 5 collaborators for everyone, which is already awesome for students. They'll bump it up to unlimited collaborators for students though, which is a seriously generous deal. It's not as slick but it's a no brainer for anything that can't be public, which there's a lot of in university. [0] https://education.github.com/pack https://education.github.com/pack
