GitHub announced unlimited free private repos today.
You can add up to three collaborators to each private repo. There's also some other news related to the other pricing levels they have.
Personally the main reason I made a GitLab account was for the private repos. Think I'll stick with GitHub just because of familiarity. What are your thoughts?

That's a nice move from MS. Now many side-projects will be moved to GitHub.
In my guess, the next move from
GitLabwill be improving usability of their integrated CI/CD tools which GitHub lacks currently.Ohh that's really interesting. I like GitHub but I started to use gitlab because the private repos. I'll keep with gitlab since my projects are there from many years now.
I'm happy with keybase.io
That's interesting, do you mostly use it for private file storage? Does Keybase also have a VCS too?
I use it for both. And yes they provide a full encrypted and private VCS for free.
Really didn't think Microsoft would do such a move, really glad they did.
I just went and downgraded my account 😂
Moved all my private repos from Bitbucket to GitHub. Bitbucket's private repo/collaborator policy is plain weird. 5 collaborators across all private repos? Nope.
I use bitbucket for private repos. Now I don't have to. Thanks Github.
Phew! wow
This is very big news. But it may be too late for me. I have moved my private repos to Gitlab and I have been loving it so far.
And that was the right choice. GitLab is FLOSS & superior in every aspect except discoverability, and you can simply mirror to GitHub and be done with it.
I’d do the same. I gage GitLab a try exactly for the same reason but I’m so used to GitHub, that I find it hard to navigate around GitLab’s interface and concept. I’m so happy about this happening on GitHub 😋
