Honest question and I am absolutely not starting an argument, but what have they done for Github? All I'm aware of is making private repos free, but I haven't seen anything beyond that. I must be out of the loop.

I have no idea how much they had to do with Github’s recent developments, but:

- Github Sponsors with donation matching for some limited time period

- Github Pro which based on browsing user profiles a surprising amount of folks have bought into

- Github Package Repositories.

- Github Pipelines.

Generally I have been waiting for Github to start sucking but it has only gotten better imo.

I have been a pretty big Gitlab fanboy for a while so it’s weird to harp on Github’s progress but they’ve done a good job flipping the script.

Not a statement either way, but AFAIK everyone who has the Student Pack[1] gets the PRO badge. I have it and I haven't spent a penny on GitHub (though my employer has).

Their PR UIs have recently gotten some much-needed improvements too.

We finally got a dual sided "more context" button for diffs, that was so annoying when that was missing (and a declined feature request when I asked).

The latest development that I'm aware of is the package registry they are launching: https://github.com/features/package-registry
