Update actions-billing.md by hwine · Pull Request #2137 · github/docs

hwine · 2020-12-15T20:54:07Z

Without "both", I interpreted text as referring to just one category: "public repositories using self-hosted runners", which is not correct.

You could also use an Oxford comma here :) but I think "both" is clearer.

Why:

#2134 details the perceived ambiguity.

What's being changed:

Add a word.

Check off the following:

All of the tests are passing.
I have reviewed my changes in staging. (look for the deploy-to-heroku link in your pull request, then click View deployment)
For content changes, I have reviewed the localization checklist
For content changes, I have reviewed the Content style guide for GitHub Docs.

That's the flip side of community involvement :) Lots of extra admin time! (hoping this resets stale)

👋 Hi, @hwine! Thanks a lot for this suggestion; I agree that this could be misunderstood.

I think we could probably clear this up a little more, because IIUC, self-hosted runner usage is free for private repositories, but only for minutes. Storage is still counted for any uploaded workflow artifacts from self-hosted runners. The current wording might incorrectly imply that if you use self-hosted runners in a private repository, any uploaded storage usage is also free.

@chrispat Could you please confirm the wording ☝️ is ok?

One comment - I sure wouldn't know how to work it in smoothly - actions are not available for private repos on legacy plans. (I oversee a couple of those kind of orgs.)

That wording is correct.

@hwine Thanks, but this is already mentioned in the purple product callout that is at the top of most docs pages for Actions 🙂 , e.g.

oh, duh. I have to remember to read the top matter even when I enter via a deep link.
