Even better: if you sign up with a .edu email address (hell, even my university email account works and it's a .es), they upgrade your account to unlimited everything, automatically.

GitHub also does a Educational plan, but it requires manual requests and IIRC they give you a Micro account. So Bitbucket is the default choice for all my shared class projects.

Thanks for the tip, I signed up for free private repos, but this makes me a real fan.

Thank you! My Swedish university address worked as well. Just created also an unlimited team account for my research group. This is exactly what I have been wishing Github would do for a couple of years now.

What if you signed up with your personal account? Is there a way to upgrade by changing your email address to an *.edu email address?

yeah, just add the address and confirm it and it's automatic. I've shown this to a few friends, so I know it works (or at least, it has in the past).
