如何在 GitHub 上建立一个私有的 Git 存储库？

我打算分享我的源代码，只邀请几十个用户可能。源代码本身不应该是公共的。允许并鼓励参与者提交修改意见。因此，我需要源代码管理，最好是 Git，托管在一个公共服务器上，并为多个用户提供私有访问权限。

我了解到可以在 GitHub 上建立使用 https://links 的私有 Git 仓库。在 GitHub 上，这样的项目不会出现在搜索中。对于参与的用户，该项目显示一个“锁”图标。所以显然存在私有存储库; 我只是不知道如何建立一个。许多教程使用 SSH 来设置私有存储库，但是它们都要求您拥有“自己的服务器”。

在推送/拉取源代码时，我不关心安全连接，对 GitHub 也不存在信任问题。我所关心的就是只允许我邀请的用户访问。也许我太天真了，这样的解决方案只有通过商业主机(例如，解开，集合) ，但如果不是，我真的想知道它是如何做到的！

On January 7th 2019, GitHub announced free and unlimited private repositories for all GitHub users, paying or not. When creating a new repository, you can simply select the Private option.

If you are a student you can get a free private repository at https://github.com/edu

Update

As noted in another answer, now there is an option for private repos also for simple users

Bitbucket - Their plans seem to be the best. They give you way more than GitHub do for free accounts - in fact, I'm still only using the free plan - no need to sign up to the paid ones; plus the interface is almost identical to GitHub.

A repository on Bitbucket can have up to five private users with unlimited public or private repositories - the only thing you seem to be paying for with the paid accounts are more users to access your private repositories.

GitHub is a great tool in-all for making repositories. However, it does not do good with private repositories.

You're forced to pay for private repositories unless you get some sort of plan. I have a couple of projects so far, and if GitHub doesn't do what I want I just go to Bitbucket. It's a bit harder to work with than GitHub, however it's unlimited free repositories.

Once you have a paid account on GitHub, it is not obvious how to create a private repository. To create a private repository for an organization with paid account, go to https://github.com/organizations/MYORGANIZATIONNAME.

The only way I've figured how to navigate there is:

  • Go to to your organization's home page: https://github.com/MYORGANIZATIONNAME
  • Click on the "Edit MYORGANIZATION's Profile" button at the top right
  • Click on the "GitHub" icon at the top left (non-obvious)
  • Click on the "News Feed" tab (non-obvious)
  • Click on the "New Repository" button at the right ...

Update (2019, latest)

Since Jan 2019, GitHub allows private repositories for up to three collaborators.

Conclusion:

I'm not seeing people mentioning GitLab here, but it seems like the best free private plan for me. I myself am using it with no problems.

GitHub: If you have a student account or want to pay for $7 monthly, GitHub has the biggest community and you can take advantage of it's public repositories, forks, etc.

Bitbucket: If you use other products from Atlassian like Jira or Confluence, Bitbucket works great with them.

GitLab: Everything that I care about (free private repository, number of private repositories, number of collaborators, etc.) are offered for free. This seems like the best choice for me.

Since January 7th, 2019, it is possible: unlimited free private repositories on GitHub!
... But for up to three collaborators per private repository.

Nat Friedman just announced it by twitter:

Today(!) we’re thrilled to announce unlimited free private repos for all GitHub users, and a new simplified Enterprise offering:

"New year, new GitHub: Announcing unlimited free private repos and unified Enterprise offering"

For the first time, developers can use GitHub for their private projects with up to three collaborators per repository for free.

Many developers want to use private repos to apply for a job, work on a side project, or try something out in private before releasing it publicly.
Starting today, those scenarios, and many more, are possible on GitHub at no cost.

Public repositories are still free (of course—no changes there) and include unlimited collaborators.
