Out of curiosity, how would the students actually go about making their grades private. Free github accounts don't actually get any private repo's, so aren't you effectively requiring a student who wants to maintain some secrecy to pay extra?
- micheljansen 11y agoGitHub != Git. Git is free and open version control software, GitHub is a commercial hosting service and social network that uses Git. You can use Git without using GitHub.
- MarcScott 11y agoGitHub are quite kind to educational institutions and will give you private repos for free. I got 50 just by asking in an email. If the student is a member of your organisation, then when they fork the repo it remains private.
- jackpirate 11y ago1. Github provides free educational accounts to students. 2. The repos could be maintained on any git server, so bit bucket would work just fine. 3. Even if the students had to pay for github private repos, the price would be far less than even the cheapest textbooks.
