For a long time, GitHub had nice perks for anyone with a .edu email (free private repo for instance).

So I know a lot of devs who got started using GitHub since it was a seamless way to have an always-on git server to work on labs and homework.

I was curious what had become of the GitHub edu accounts from the early 2010s.

Turns out it's now the "Student Developer Pack" [1] which is more like a bundle of third-party offers.

GitHub started offering free private repos to everyone in 2019 https://github.blog/2019-01-07-new-year-new-github/
