GitHub Organization - What are the limits on a public Org when I am using Teams

Developers

I am just sorting out my GitHub repos and this question popped up.

Background

At first I am going to use GitHub free Organization which has the obvious limits but at some point I might switch to using teams with paid seats.

I will have a mix of public and private repositories.

the questions

Will the public repositories still have the ability to have unlimited members and will this repo be governed by the free tier limits?

Can I have public for my open-source stuff and then private repos for my commercial stuff on the same organization?

Thanks

This question would be better posted in a git forum rather than a web hosting forum

This is the best place as the team here are using the exact scenario I want to have. :smile:

So you want the team to spoon feed you on something that doesn’t concern them ? Ok I stand corrected

@jimr1 you need to chill out with your snarky comments. I don’t know if you understand how they come across sometimes.

Thanks

For those doubters, I do my research.

Just do the thing. You’re still making this too complicated.

Create an organization. Invite participants. You’re done.

I am just planning ahead and need to know what would happen to my public repos when I upgrade from a free organisation to a paid one.

Yes, public repos allow unlimited members. You can mix public and private—just upgrade when needed.

This makes this point make sense

If you’d like additional users to have access to your GitHub Team organization’s private repositories, you can purchase more seats anytime.

thanks @DediRock
