GitHub Announces Pricing Plans

Some of us around the Lab have been using GitHub for a while now, and we love it. (It’s currently in beta, but we’ve got some invitations if you’re interested in checking it out - just leave a comment here.) Unlike at least one of the alternatives, however, GH won’t be entirely free once it launches. Finally, we have some details on their pricing plans.

All in all, I’d say it looks very reasonable - 100 MB of space for the free account is plenty given git’s efficiency, unless you’re storing media in your repository. I also love the focus on open source projects and public repositories, which are always unlimited. I think GitHub’s clearly on the right track, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it grows.

I think the pricing plans are perfectly acceptable. They give the free plans plenty of usability but, the pay-for plans have many reasons to be worth the money. On top of that, the breakdown or the pricing is fairly logical and evenly spaced.

I’d love an invite :) I’ve been meaning to move a project to git and this sees like a perfect enough chance.

Interesting.

I’ve been (mis)using similar behaviour in javascript for years.


var i = 0, car;
while( car = cars[i++]){
// do stuff
}

I suppose that the reason it works is exactly the same reason it works in Ruby ... but in this case I think the code is actually very easy to read.
