Historically, if you've wanted to create a private repository on GitHub, you had to be a paying user, but that's about to change.

For larger projects, you'll have to join a paid plan or make your code public, as GitHub isn't changing how it manages public repositories.
All GitHub users can keep their code private
Previously only paid users could have private projects.
