Is it official now that Github is becoming Gitlab?
Does anyone know how they are going to bill for the compute used in the CI?

It is totally free for public repos. For private repos:
- Free accounts get 2000 free minutes
- Pro accounts get 3000 free minutes
- Team accounts get 10k free minutes
- Enterprise accounts get 50k free minutes
Additional runner minutes are:
- Linux: $0.008 per min
- Windows: $0.016 per min
- macOS: $0.08 per min (yeah that's not a typo, it is copied straight from the page, macOS is mad expensive)
I'm not sure if for large open source projects, these machines will be nearly enough to run the CI jobs.
The price for Linux seems quite steep when you compare with for example what you pay with GCP.
It will be interesting to see the Github security teams catching those "public" repos doing nasty stuff like mining crypto - even with hard timeouts on each job it will be cool to see how this plays out!
Roughly inline with what other CI providers charge for MacOS per minute. Circle CI cheapest plan is 0.0498 per minute, but you need to pay USD$249 per month to get up to 5000 minutes. To make it that cheap you need to use all of your minutes up.
For teams, azure devops costs between 6-52/month/user and includes many features not needed for a standard GitHub+CircleCI (or gitlab) project.
No doubt there will soon be a Gitlab blog post passive aggressively complaining about Github copying them again.
They should put that kind of energy into creating teaching content.
