> BitBucket. It's essentially the same service as GitHub, but allows private repositories for free. And with an academic .edu email you get unlimited collaborators. Much simpler than running your own git server as others have suggested I think.

> So I've been using Bitbucket, which is fine and all, but I would have loved to be a part of Github community.

I already have Bitbucket edu plan, as I've said. It's pretty great, but it lacks community.

Ah missed that, or an edit, either way. Yeah there's not the community because it's used for more private projects. GitHub has the community because it's focused towards open source and all the sharing and cooperation that OSS entails.

Yeah, I agree. One interesting thing is that their JIRA is really popular as an issue tracker to the point that more than a few organisations I've seen are using JIRA as a tracker and github:enterprise as repo. Github really needs to up their game on this part.

Odds are the orgs in question were using Jira long before they were using GitHub. Pretty sure it's Atlassian feeling the pressure here and not GitHub; given the existence of Stash.
