>GitHub takes forever to implement simple things that all users would love (like free private repos)

What makes you think Github is 'taking forever' to implement that feature, instead of refusing to implement it to help their business model?

I would like a free, private Aston Martin, but the manufacturer is taking for ever to implement that too.

But I take your point. This is why I drive a Nissan.

I'd say GitHub is not Aston Martin if GitLab is Nissan...

Well, my Nissan wasn't free either and I don't use GitLab at all.

Why on earth would they want to provide free private repo's, that's something they charge for... ON PURPOSE. They aren't taking "forever", they're simply not going to do that.

So that's why it's a good idea to use bitbucket as well. Then you get the free private repos there.

Fuck yeah Bitbucket.

I was waiting for someone to mention that. Free Aston Martins!!!!
