Today GitHub has announced the extension of its free plan to include unlimited private repositories. This is great because allows a lot more people to start experimenting their side projects and keep them confidential until they ready to be shared publicly.
GerritHub.io allows extending this amazing offer by having a fully-featured code review process on top of their GitHub private repositories and still keep the confidentiality needed for early-stage projects. Differently from GitHub, however, GerritHub allows you to have an unlimited number of reviewers and collaborators, for free, forever.
A wonderful new 2019 is starting with two amazing free offers to allow everyone to experiment and unleash their potential:
- Free unlimited repos from GitHub, limited to 3 collaborators
- Free unlimited repos from GerritHub, with unlimited collaborators for reviews
