[dba-Tech] GitHub private repositories now free for up to three collaborators

[Jim Lawrence]

My goodness, you have an impressive list of code routines. 

Its good to hear that you can now work collaboratively with multiple contributors so your GitHub account can be more like a work site than just an off-line repository. 

I have never used TFS before, too big and too expensive. (...and there are a number of low cost alternatives but maybe not applications that can incorporate into the Microsoft code-sphere.)

Hi Jim

GitHub works extremely well. All my recent public VBA projects are stored on GitHub:
https://github.com/GustavBrock?tab=repositories

Also, it integrates nicely with Visual Studio, but I mostly use VS for work that can't be public, thus it has been of little use to me in that context. Until now, I have used TFS online for those repositories, but I find it somewhat tricky to work with. That will change now.

Hi Gustav:

I have rarely been involved with Github/GetLab. I was at the tail end of my career when these sites became the de facto online app source but I have pulled numerous chunks of code from the GitHub public repositories over the years. Mostly for enjoyment but occasionally working out a solution.

Aside: I just hope Microsoft doesn't bork it; "kill the golden goose" while trying to make more profit.

Hi Jim

I guess so, or any other combo of GitHub accounts.
But I know no more than what the press release tells.

Its a start. Does this mean three separate companies with one representative each?
