Github: Student pack gets unlimited private repositories

Cheers to all! Busy with the things in the night and suddenly an email comes on your phone. Check your inbox, you see that's from Github. After reading, I just remember of writing this blog. The news is so exciting.

You now get unlimited private repositories in your student plan account and all of it for free.

Thanks to the amazing people at Github who are encouraging the development in young students.

The email reads:

"

Welcome to unlimited private repositories

Good news — your plan now includes unlimited private repositories. Whether you're using private repositories to learn new things or flex your creative muscles, you can keep all of your projects in one place without worrying about how many repositories you're using (if you need help migrating, we’ve got a tool for that). We hope this new plan will help you work on as many ideas, experiments, and projects as you can think up.

We’ve automatically updated your account to include unlimited private repositories. As part of this change we also updated our pricing, but since you’re using the Student Developer Pack, your plan remains free. 

"


So are you excited about this? Go on check your email.

So, Finally the Curtain was unveiled from the official stable LTS(Long Term support) version of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 on May 1 , 2016.

The new version hasn't got any  considerable changes right from the  desktop like Windows 10, yet you will start noticing the difference in every instance you use it.

 The list of new changes in the version are(more features will be added):

 

  • First of all a new blank desktop created dynamically can now stay open between two full desktop windows unless previous versions where this was a serious con. 

  •   Second there has been some addition to the default backgrounds and lock screen wallpapers.

  • You will notice some small changes here and there with the UI in context menus.

  •   One major addition is the Gnome software application which replaces the ubuntu software center. Gnome software center also has a very good UI when compared with the ubuntu software center.

  • In the search itself now you will get suggestions from the software center, which is something similar to what unity offers.
