Keep competing! Alternatives are good!

I agree. After Github recently locked my private repos and demanded payment to unlock them, with no option to simply make them public instead, I'm 10,000% supportive of getting new (or, in this case, refreshed) competitors in that space, whether I plan to use them or not.
Settings -> Danger Zone -> Make Repo Public

Just did it, it works just fine.

How did you create a free private repo to begin with?
Expiration of a student license, maybe?
