  • github had (has?) free pro accounts for students back when github didn’t offer private repos for free. if you forgot to cancel your student account when you graduated, github would simply hold your private repos hostage unless you paid for them. no option given to simply make them public repos. i would have lost mountains of my work had they not fucked up and unlocked my repos for a couple hours, which allowed me to clone everything i didn’t have locally and migrate to gitlab.

    so basically, sometimes those student offers build in scam tactics.
