When did you last look at GitHub? They've had free private repos for well over a year (maybe longer).

I have ~50 private on my account... Embarrassingly bad half-completed side projects mostly.

GitHub private repos are still $7/month, but available for free as part of the education discount

VSTS, Microsoft's hosted TFS solution, gives you unlimited private git repos for up to 5 users, 40 hours worth of hosted builds per month, complete project management, a private markdown based Wiki, and free orchestration of local build and deployment agents.

Huh? Not that I see. Private repos require a paid plan.

Paid plans of GH are too expensive.
