&gt; But I&#x27;d appreciate if their PR department didn&#x27;t expect us to swallow this as a positive change.<p>I don&#x27;t have any numbers on how people structure their accounts on Github, but my feeling is that this <i>is</i> a positive change for the majority of Github users.<p>Git encourages having many smaller repos for modules over massive single repos. $1&#x2F;repo&#x2F;month is fine for active projects, but gets expensive really fast if you want to keep archives of small private experiments around. Because of the per-repo pricing on Github, I&#x27;ve seen many friends and startups I&#x27;ve worked with keeping their open-source public repos on Github (for free), while moving private repos to Bitbucket.<p>I would not be surprised if this pricing change would be a net revenue loss for Github, but still implemented to avoid losing market share to Bitbucket.
