GitHub Enterprise is now free through Microsoft for Startups
We’re partnering with Microsoft for Startups to make GitHub available for all participants, starting on February 13.

Startups move fast. GitHub helps your team focus on shipping features—so you can iterate on your product. Today we’re announcing that GitHub Enterprise is now included in Microsoft for Startups, a free program that helps thousands of startups with services, software, and other benefits.
GitHub Enterprise includes many features that make your life easier, such as support, access provisioning via SAML or SCIM, and generous capacity for Actions and Packages to power your CI/CD and other automation workflows.
GitHub and other benefits for startups
Participants receive $1,000 of monthly credit for up to two years of GitHub Enterprise Cloud (over 45 seats). This is our best functionality, delivered with a 99.95% uptime SLA.
Startups in the program have access to other valuable benefits, including Azure credits, Visual Studio Enterprise, and Office 365. Microsoft also provides sales and marketing support, including participation in campaigns with Microsoft, Microsoft seller-sourced leads, and co-selling opportunities.
