Developers now can use GitHub for private projects with up to three collaborators per project for free, according to Microsoft's blog. Public repositories are still available at no cost and can have an unlimited number of collaborators.

Microsoft bought GitHub for $7.5 billion in October last year. GitHub is a popular platform for software developers to share codes programs. Microsoft said GitHub would continue to operate independently after the acquisition.
