Github reduced it's pricing
Was just checking the credit card statement and I remembered that Github have reduced their pricing. I have my public repo which you can find here.
I do also have a private repo, and was paying around £6 a month for this (depending on the exchange rate), this is now around half that which is great. Looking at the price plans etc, I think I will be able to drop down to Free plan, not sure I need the Team plan as it’s a private for me only and I don’t do that many commits. I don’t think I will reach the 2000 Actions minutes/month, same with going over 500MB. I will have to review the options.
The official statement states
Cloud-based code repository platform GitHub has expanded its free tier to teams, has reduced paid team pricing from $9 USD user/month to $4 user/month, and is eliminating minimum seat requirements for GitHub Team. Prior to this change, teams that wanted private repositories had to subscribe to a paid plan. "But every developer on earth should have access to GitHub. Price shouldn't be a barrier," GitHub CEO Nat Friedman said in a blog post. So, "all of the core GitHub features are now free for everyone."
Friedman also mentioned easier collaboration as a reason for the changes, saying that the reduced pricing and free organizational tier means "teams can now manage their work together in one place: CI/CD, project management, code review, packages, and more."
The new tier, called GitHub Free for Organizations, includes the following features:
Community support
Two-factor authentication
Team discussions
Access control
Unlimited public repositories with full feature sets
Unlimited private repositories with limited feature sets
2,000 GitHub Actions minutes
500MB of GitHub package storage
The features available to free organization users are nearly identical to free individual accounts, with the exceptions largely coming in the form of access control and unlimited users. Otherwise, there's the same amount of Actions minutes and package storage, so if your organization needs more than 500MB of storage you'll have to pay for one of GitHub's premium tiers.
