Black Friday. Cyber Monday. But have you heard of Octocat Wednesday? Probably not because I just made that up. Lucky for you we’re also making up the prices around here for the next week.
Which brings me to the subject of this blog post — free private repositories. For the next week, we’re offering one month of our Micro plan (that’s 5 private repositories and 1 private collaborator) to anyone who isn’t already enjoying the sweet nectar of personal private repositories.
So what’s the deal? Just log into your dashboard. If you are eligible, you’ll see a notice with a link to redeem your free month.
Don’t have an account yet? Sign up for a free account then you’ll be eligible to redeem this coupon.
If you’ve ever been curious what GitHub’s private repository hosting feels like, now’s the time to try it out. But hurry up — this offer will expire in a week.
