What happens to a github student account's repositories at the end of 2 years?

  • Monitoring the database. Monitor your running application using the tools such as the SQL Developer 'Monitor SQL' function or Quest's TOAD. Monitoring is described in this article. During monitoring, you query the open cursors (eg from table v$sesstat) and review their SQL. If the number of cursors is increasing, and (most importantly) becoming dominated by one identical SQL statement, you know you have a leak with that SQL. Search your code and review.
  • I just got upgraded to a free github micro plan using my university email address. I'm planning to use the private repositories for some class projects this semester, but I'm wondering what will happen to those repositories at the end of 2 years when my free student upgrade expires. I'm assuming it's the same thing that happens when you downgrade from a micro to a free account.

    Other thoughts

    Will my repositories disappear, become public, or just become read-only? I've searched around a bit and haven't been able to find an answer.

    Can you use WeakReferences to handle closing connections?

    After the two years, you will have to start paying for private repositories ($7/month) otherwise your repositories will be removed after a retention period.

    Weak and soft references are ways of allowing you to reference an object in a way that allows the JVM to garbage collect the referent at any time it deems fit (assuming there are no strong reference chains to that object).

    They will give you 30 days to pay or they will remove the repositories.

    My free educational plan expired in August. I got a big red notification bar in Github telling me to pay for a Micro plan or to downgrade. I didn't need my private repos, so I ignored it, until today.

    Personally, I find this policy weird, as no other service does this. How will it be if you stopped paying for extra storage on Google Drive, and the next day you find that half your files were hidden until you pay up.
