The popular one platform hospitality and cooperationof software development, GitHub has made some changes to the core premium features and made them available for free for everyone.
The company that owned by Microsoft said yesterday that companies will be able to create private repositories for growth without paying any amount.
Until now, if a company wanted to host software development on GitHub, it had to sign up for one of the premium packages starting at $ 7 a month. Last year, the company provided free private warehouses to users but with restrictions such as the number of partners.
Except access in the private repository, a team can have up to 2.000 action minutes on GitHub per month at no cost.
But those of you who want some advanced features, such as if you own code and want more control over your project, will have to pay $ 4 instead of the $ 9 that used to be for teams.
In a Q&A session that hosted in Hacker News, CEO Nat Friedman said GitHub wanted to make that change in the last 18 months:
We have wanted to make this change for the past 18 months but have been waiting for participation to grow. I'm happy to say that in the last year GitHub has grown dramatically so we can make it free for tiw teams who don't need features Enterprise.
It should be noted that so far GitHub has more than 40 million developers on its platform and aims to have 100 million developers by 2025.
Providing premium features for everyone at no cost can be a step in the right direction to achieve this goal.
