... so it's a 30 day free trial?

I love GitHub (and am a happy micro plan subscriber), but this deal just seems... well... kinda yawn.

Agreed. Bitbucket offers unlimited private (and pubilc as well) repos for up to 5 committers. Github is great for public repos though. It would be great if github offered one free private repo (up to x committers) as well.

Or maybe we're just testing out a new feature we just built that might be a bit bigger than 30-days free micro before we start pushing it out more.

You never know.

You never know.

Exactly, so I might as well be committing to signing up for a paid plan.

EDIT: Not trying to be snarky, I'm a ridiculously happy micro subscriber, just don't see the real appeal of this...

The obvious guess would be coupon codes (?).

Looks like there's a CSS bug on /account/billing - the coupon rows probably shouldn't change background colour on hover.

The deal seems yawn because as micro-plan subscribers, we're not able to take benefit of it!

If I hadn't a micro plan already, I would definitely give it a try.

So would I, and I did! Sweet nectar baby.
