Assembla isn't free for closed-source projects (http://www.assembla.com/plans?locale=en) unless there's a hidden plan. Apparently they made the change back in 2008 (http://blog.assembla.com/assemblablog/tabid/12618/bid/6986/R...), but this article was written today which is confusing. Am I missing something?

BitBucket (http://bitbucket.org) went free for private repositories a while back and recently added git support. That might be a better alternative today.



It looks like the author was talking about this: http://offers.assembla.com/free-git-hosting/

I'm not sure why he/she didn't just link straight to that page. I also have to vouch for bitbucket's awesomeness though. Their tools might not be quite as fancy as the competitors, but they're slowly improving.

Also, Atlassian's academic license is hard to beat: http://www.atlassian.com/software/views/bitbucket-academic-l...

You basically get their most expensive plan for free if you're a student. They do the same thing for nonprofits I believe.


I meant to link to the free plan - yes it's kind of hidden. Must have copied the wrong link.
