GitHub Free For All Teams

GitHub is making core premium features free for everyone. The Microsoft-owned software hosting and collaboration company has announced that companies can create and use private development repositories without having to pay fees.

Until last year, companies wanting to keep their development projects private had to subscribe to one of GitHub's premium plans, paying at least $7 a month. This was relaxed last year with support for private repositories on the free tier, but with limits on the number of people who coould collaborate.

Now GitHub is cutting prices for its most popular paid tier, and has made private repositories with unlimited collaborators available for all GitHub accounts. The free tier gets you 2,000 GitHub Actions minutes/month, and GitHub Community Support. GitHub Actions is designed to help developers build, share and execute code directly on the site. It is designed to cut down on the steps necessary to execute code. The changes to the free tier brings the option of using it to startups and smaller companies who want to keep their work private but can't justify a per user per month plan.

Meanwhile, monthly pricing for the GitHub Pro plan has been reduced from $7/month to $4/month, and monthly pricing for the paid Team plan has been reduced from $9/user to $4/user. All existing customers on the Team plan will be moved to the new pricing model. 

GitHub continues to offer more expensive tiers, including Enterprise for $21 per user per month that adds SAML single sign-on,  50,000 Actions minutes/month, and 50GB of GitHub Packages storage, as well as advanced auditing. There's also GitHub One (price on application) for large companies and organizations with 'community powered security, actionable metrics, and continuous learning'.
