GitHub Private Repositories

Dear JLab GitHub users,

JLab's licensing arrangement with GitHub presently allows a maximum of 450 'private' repos to be created under the JeffersonLab organization. We recently filled that quota and are presently unable to create new private repos. Unfortunately, due to a major restructuring of GitHub's licensing plans there is no easy way to simply increase that limit right now.

We are asking all GitHub members in the JeffersonLab organization to review their repos marked 'private' and do one of the following to help address this issue in the near term. This link shows all private repos:

https://github.com/JeffersonLab?q=&type=private

1) If the repo doesn't really need to be 'private', change
   its Visibility to 'public' in the repo settings.
   * NOTE: 'public' does not mean that others can modify
           the repo.  If you would be comfortable putting
           a tarball on a wiki or webpage somewhere (ie.
           public_html/, etc), then 'public' should be
           fine on GitHub.

2) If the repo is unused and unneeded, then delete it.
   (Check with collaborators first!)

3) If appropriate, it could be transferred to your personal
   account. (Se repo settings: 'Transfer Ownership' at
   bottom.)
   ** One positive change in GitHub's setup is that
      personal accounts can now create private repositories.
      That used to be a paid-only feature.  So, some classes
      of work (ie.  papers, proposals, etc) can be well served
      under 'free' personal accounts.
    - Larger projects, and JLab-specific work should remain
      attached to the JeffersonLab organization.

• • NOTE: There is no limit on 'public' repositories. Don't worry about those at all.

 We're working on a long term solution to this issue, but
 please investigate the steps above to help us all out in the
 near term.
