This is an awesome change! In case anyone else was wondering, here's what you lose by cancelling:

    You are downgrading to GitHub Free
    After April 15, 2020, ... features and limits will change:

    Protected branches in private repos
    Draft PRs in private repos
    GitHub Pages in private repos (using 1)
    Wikis in private repos
    Code owners in private repos
    Multiple issue assignees in private repos
    Multiple PR assignees in private repos
    Code review automatic assignment in private repos
    Scheduled reminders in private repos
    Standard support
    2,000 minutes for GitHub Actions (currently 3,000)
    500MB of storage for packages (currently 2GB)

>>dmw_ng+(OP)
Why would protected branches go away?

>>markph+p3
They are still a premium only feature.

>>markph+p3
There's a more detailed table at the bottom of https://github.com/pricing

>>jswny+k4
OK.. maybe it is terminology then because Free public repos have Branch Protection rules. Do you not have those with Free private repos? Or is "Protected Branches" some bigger feature?

>>markph+a7
> Do you not have those with Free private repos?

Correct.

>>dmw_ng+(OP)
I hope GitHub allows protected branches in private repos. They're really important for everyone, not just enterprises.

>>dmw_ng+(OP)
It's not clear to me whether this is possible under any configuration, but: can you enforce a two-person rule? I'd like all users to be able to merge accepted PRs, but no one should be able to push directly to master (unless an admin specifically elevates permissions to do that).

The only way I can think of is to have a bot be the only one with commit access, and to interact with the bot to do merging. But that seems pretty roundabout.

>>closep+wc
This sounds like how my previous company had GitHub configured.

We couldn't push to master, but we could merge accepted PRs. Not sure if this was done with GitHub or with Git itself.

>>Randal+6k
Generally speaking that's what Github's "protected branches" are, and it looks like you lose those for private repos when you switch to the free plan.

>>closep+wc
Protected branches are the gateway to the multi-PR-review requirement, so you'd need the $4 GH Teams.

>>j88439+w8
They do, even at $4/mo/user plan.
