Cons
- - Public repositories only; no private content support
- - No SLA, no support contract, tiny donation-funded team
- - Undocumented bandwidth policy — the quoted '100GB free' figure is unverified
- - Rate limiting 'in cases of abuse' with no published thresholds
- - Undocumented, unpriced 'Pro' tier floating in the docs
