Personal greetings I’m starting there with the concepts of Github and would like to know when I put my project there it becomes accessible to all people with the download option.

If yes: Is there a way to remove this download option?

If not: That’s all I’d like to know, guys, thank you.

    There is the paid form of Github which is a private behavior that only you and those who have permission given by you can use. Has https://bitbucket.org/ which is in the same symbology and can have private projects goes with it!

    Although the question is excellent and the answer too, I do not consider it to be something of the scope, it is not a problem of how to use the command git, is not a doubt about files like .gitignore and not a doubt about how to use programs like Githubdesktop, is a doubt about a business plan being free or not, which does not seem to me in scope, I admit it generated a good answer, but still it will attract many promotional and opinionated responses like A is better B. I think the current answer could even become a community wiki at most.

  • I think you exaggerated because all information related to the subject or related is well Vind until pq we are here to share knowledge with the company. But thank you

It depends, you can have private projects and prevent other people from accessing it. If you use the free plan, you won’t be able to prevent them from seeing your source or downloading it.

Github has these two options

  1. Public projects: anyone can see, forkar and download the source code.
  2. Private projects: only users you release will have access to the code.

Private projects are only available in paid plans, which vary between 7 and 21 dollars a month on the date of this reply.

You can still get an account with unlimited private repositories while you’re a student with Github Student Developer Pack.

There are some alternatives in the market, the best known is the Bitbucket atlassian. It basically has the same functions as Github, but you can create private projects on the free plan, as long as it doesn’t have more than 5 users.

There is also the Gitlab you may have designs private unlimited and also has no limit of users.

I’m not going to give much more detail about the tools because it doesn’t suit, besides this is a question about a question about Github.

  • I will seek to know the bitbucket pq at the moment is to keep the project private rs

  • Thank you for the wonderful answer, dear

Hello, github projects as our friend explained above are only released public repositories for free accounts. If you are not interested in acquiring a private plan, I suggest exploring the tool gitlab (https://about.gitlab.com/), that integrates with git normally and you can create a private project, the difference is the space limit if I’m not mistaken, but even so, it’s much more advantageous, worth knowing the tool!

I hope it helps.

Since github is a community created for the open source public by default, the free account makes your project visible to everyone who has access to the site, but to have your private account you have to hire a paid plan within the site.
