GitHub Is Microsoft’s $7.5B Undo Button

I have some customers with repositories on Bitbucket. The reason is the pricing model for private projects.

On Bitbucket you pay for developer and have infinite private projects.

On GitHub is you pay for private projects and have infinite developers.

If one company has many projects and few developers, Bitbucket is cheaper.

I also have small customers who don't even know what a repository is. I self host with gitolite (I don't need a web interface, only push and pull) and give access to the most illuminated of them to a self hosted Redmine server for managing tickets. I write documentation in Redmine's wikis.

That is the legacy pricing model. Their new pricing model matches Bitbucket: https://github.com/pricing

Thanks, I didn't notice and it happened two years ago.

Still, with Bitbucket we can have unlimited private repositories for free up to 5 users, then it's $2 per user. With GitHub unlimited private repository come at $7 per month, then it's $5 per month for the first 5 users and $9 for the others.
