We Launched

defunkt 10 Apr 2008

GitHub is officially live. Thanks for the awesome beta everyone.

While you can sign up or upgrade your account now, it’ll be one week (April 17th) before we start enforcing limits. Think of this as a trial period.

We’re really proud of the site and have so many ideas for the future – this is just the beginning. While we’ve come a long way since going into beta, rather than pontificate on the journey I’ll just let our happy users speak for themselves.

Update: Oh yeah, new features: comments on commits, network graphs (check the blog post), and Campfire & Lighthouse integration.

So if I was involved in the beta and have a private repository what’s going to happen? Does it magically go public or am I locked out until I upgrade?

I keep seeing that IP address change message at the top of github, even after I hide it. Using Firefox 3 on Mac.

it’s amazing how simple some things can look on the outside if done right…

elliottcable Thu Apr 10 17:04:52 -0700 2008

Ditto ministrycentered – where’s mah SVNhub )-:

Congrats!

Pricing is better than I thought, there’s still a free version :P. It doesn’t make sense to me why there’s a limit on private repos though. No extra resources go towards making them private, or am I mistaken?

Well at lesat this is a nice, and much sexier looking, alternative to http://repo.or.cz, and since people can pay for the service it probably won’t die :)

kommen Thu Apr 10 23:05:49 -0700 2008

Go GitHub, Go! :)

gerhard Fri Apr 11 00:34:33 -0700 2008

gratz!

rory Fri Apr 11 03:05:02 -0700 2008

I’m currently using 116MB and have no intention of upgrading. Do you have any documentation on how to reduce the size of my repo?

myabc Fri Apr 11 07:25:32 -0700 2008

Congratulations on the launch. This is such an incredibly brilliant idea I can’t believe no one thought of it earlier. It took me two tries to jump to git, but this time I’m sticking! … you realize you have another SourceForge on your hands? Except this time brilliantly executed!
