Does anyone know if this will effect student plans as well? So far it included a free micro plan with the usual 5 private repos. Would be pretty awesome, I just had to host a repo somewhere else a few days ago because I ran out of private repos.

Other than that it sounds like a great improvement, it'll make it a lot more likely that I'll pay for GitHub when I'm not a student anymore.

/edit: https://github.com/pricing makes it sound like this is for free student plans as well

Good question! Students get free private repositories for 2 years. You can request the student discount at https://education.github.com/

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation :)

Yes, students will also get unlimited private repos.

Under the billing tab in my account it says: "Sit tight! We’re in the process of upgrading your account to unlimited private repositories."
