I can see the reasons for it certainly, when microsoft bought github there was a bit of an exedus, people leaving rapidly. They’re trying to entice the small people back by removing one of the features that the competition had as a stand out.
Version control code and prevent others from accessing it.
Love this change. I just cancelled my premium a few minutes ago after they billed me for this month. It’ll be nice to save $7/mo! I had been paying for it since 2016.
The bad part is it looks like they have a public icon for premium members now, and I really want that… 
Any reason you didn’t use Bitbucket for your private repos?
I don’t like Bitbucket. When I started using GitHub, they (BitBucket) had their previous UI and I thought it was clunky and unintuitive. I still find the new interface to not be that great.
GitHub on the other hand has a great UI that’s really easy to navigate and I use it for work anyway.
I used Bitbucket for private repos before switching to GitHub premium, but I switched to GitHub pretty much the same month they started allowing unlimited private repos for premium, instead of the dumb 5 or whatever they offered before that. It’s just a better experience.
I use it at work and I agree. We host all our projects there and it’s not terrible but there are lots of little things that just annoy me. If I go into a branch for example, and I want to see commits in that branch…I’ll click the little “commits” button and it brings me to the commits page and has it set on the master branch. </rant>
