Make your repository private

[jeehoonkang]

Hi all,

As described here, please make your repository private. The contents of the links basically ask you to:

• "Request a discount" from https://education.github.com
• Wait for (at most) a day for the discount to be granted.
• Change your repository to private one in the repositories' Settings > Danger Zone.

I "requested a discount" last Thursday at the lab session, but it is still pending...

[jeehoonkang]

@jaewooklee93

I think that's probably because it is a weekend..
Then let's wait another day or two.

I still cannot get the request approved. It's still 'pending'

[jeehoonkang]

Would anybody please let me know how you applied your private repositories? Pending so far seems strange for me, and I would like to know what is the problem.

Hi.
Follow this link. https://education.github.com/contact
In FAQ section > "How long will it take to process my discount request?",
they said that the wait time could be a few weeks.

By my friend who applied 'Github education program', he waited a month in pending.

@ntopia Thank you for letting me know. I mailed to the GitHub Education team and requested a fast transaction for your applications. If they don't give you discounts at a due time, I will make an alternative measure ASAP.

Once more, thank you. Jeehoon

Hi all, I contacted GitHub Education team, and they said it will be helpful to contact via: https://education.github.com/contact If you think it takes too much time to get granted, do:

• contact https://education.github.com/contact and
• say something like:

Hi GitHub Education Team,
I am YOURNAME, a student from Seoul National University.

This semester I take Programming Languages course, 
and to attend the the course, I have to prepare for a private repository.

So I applied a discount from education.github.com, but I could not get an approval.
As the first assignment will be issued next week, I will need a free repository soon.

So may I ask if you could approve my application sooner than usual?
My TA (@jeehoonkang) said he asked Mr. Sanicki (@sanicki) to help me, so I contacted via this channel.

Thanks,
YOURNAME

Obviously, you may have to replace YOURNAME with your name.

I requested my personal e-mail(naver.com). maybe that's why my request is still pending.. How can I cancel my request?

[jeehoonkang]

@ch7457 Just apply one more time.

Jeehoon

[liveseongho]

we cannot apply one more time while we're pending

[jeehoonkang]

@ch7457 Ah..
in that case,

• confirm your SNU email in GitHub https://help.github.com/articles/verifying-your-email-address/
• contact via https://education.github.com/contact and tell them you have SNU email but applied for education program with commercial email address,
• in addition to the template I gave (begging with Hi GitHub Education Team, above).

I am still waiting for an answer. I have sent the suggested email already, but no answer until now.
As soon as I get my request accepted I will comment here.
Thank you.
