Github, you can do better ! It feels like we're being offered to test drive a free trial deal which ought to exist anyway.

Given that github is already completely free for public repositories, I think they already have a suitable test drive offering.

Really? We're going to complain about something that's free? Oh yeah, it's the Internet.

I don't remember pressing an 'Add Complaint' button. It's my opinion and we can agree to disagree.

I disagree. I guess we can't agree to disagree as to whether or not we can agree to disagree.

As a neutral observer (who did not downmod you, btw), your post did come across as oh-so-slightly whiney. I pay for Github. I don't care that they are offering Micro free.

What would be awesome is if they sent you a subscriber-only shirt after every 12 paid months or something, though. I don't actually use private repositories; I pay for the micro plan just to show my support :)

its more of a commentary on the account plans that github has. compare it to pretty much every other github competitor, and they almost unilaterally provide at least one free private repo.
