Programmatically get a free Repl.it Hacker Plan

Hello! I’m Losh.

I recently found a way to get the repl.it hacker plan for free by mistake!

When you join a github classroom, and connect your repl account, the hacker plan is added to your account!

What’s the hacker plan?

The repl.it hacker plan gives you:
Private repls
10x the storage (5 GB)
4x the memory (2 GB)
4x the speed (2 vCPUs)
Offline repls
Always-on repls
And normally costs $7 a month!

What you need

1. A github account (get at https://github.com)
2. A repl.it account (get at https://repl.it)

Steps

1. Go here: https://classroom.github.com/a/DuZ33Vzb. This is a classroom that I have made.
2. Click on “Accept this assignment”
3. Then it will bring you to a page. Refresh the page.
4. You’ll see a button at the bottom that says “Work in repl.it”, click on that.
5. Now, you’ll most likely have to authorize your with your GitHub account, if not, then go to the next step. Once your account is connected/authorized, close the page, go back to the GitHub classroom, and click the “Work in repl.it” button again.
6. Now, you’ll see a repl, and in the README.md it says “Welcome, you now have access to the repl.it hacker plan!”! Go back to the home page on repl.it, and you’ll see you have the hacker plan (if you create a new repl, you’ll see you can make private ones!!). You now have the hacker plan!

*note due to github changes this may or may not still work
