A couple things to check out if you haven't already seen them:

Aw, shucks. Y’all are very kind.

This was also a pivotal moment in my career, so much good stuff traces back to this five minute demo.

Personal | Software Developer Apprentice | New York, NY | REMOTE / FULL TIME / INTERNS | https://airtable.com/shr7Gxoh0jDu3Dwr8

I'm hiring a Software Developer Apprentice, full-time and paid.

There will be an emphasis on learning and quality, not speed of development. You'll work on: frontend and backend web applications, mobile applications, desktop applications, and APIs.

=============================

Software Developer Apprentice

This is an excellent opportunity for an aspiring software developer who is eager to learn by doing.

Details:

The position is full-time and paid. Day to day work will be remote, but candidates may prefer to relocate to New York City temporarily for in person mentorship and learning opportunities.

In this position you will be tasked with a variety of software development projects spanning the entire stack using the following technologies:

* Web frontend: React

* Web backend: Ruby on Rails

* Mobile: iOS with Swift

* Desktop: Cross platform with Electron

* Platform: REST and GraphQL APIs

You will work on real projects and receive mentorship on software development and industry best practices. There will be a strong emphasis on producing quality work and becoming a great developer and less of an emphasis on speed of development.

This is not a typical job at a company. It's a paid full time apprenticeship opportunity working with John Britton in an individual capacity.

Qualifications:

This is an apprenticeship: zero professional experience is required. Candidates must, however, have demonstrated determination and an unwavering desire to learn. Acceptable evidence may include: completed coursework, self study records, side projects, and personal recommendations.

Apply: https://airtable.com/shr7Gxoh0jDu3Dwr8

Hey Niels!

I'm John, and I work at GitHub. Sorry to hear you're having difficulty.

From your post:

> I haven’t tried contacting customer support, but as this appears to be official policy I would not expect a change there.

I'd recommend you reach out to [email protected], they're usually very helpful with things like this.

Would love to hear more about your use case if it works for you. Definitely leave some feedback in an issue on the open source repository: https://github.com/education/classroom/issues/new

As a teacher you can get as many private repositories as you need for your course for free. Just make a request here: https://education.github.com/discount

This is a highly discouraged solution, multiple accounts lead to trouble with students and their local git configurations. They have to be knowledgeable enough to keep things separate.

Thanks for the report. Your point about (1) is well taken, maybe file an issue on that too and we can discuss ways to improve.

Those are two very common issues that we've tried to address with Classroom for GitHub.

You no longer need to collect usernames, just distribute an invitation URL and have your students include their student number or name in the repository description or README.md.

Forking is intended as a collaboration tool, so it makes sense that every member of the network can see all forks in the network. In a classroom setting, however, this might not make sense. Classroom for GitHub doesn't utilize forking, instead it creates independent repositories and pushes the starter code without using forks.

1. We're working with the OAuth permission model that exists today, but I've passed along your feedback to our platform team. The generic use case for Classroom for GitHub is to create a new organization to use for student assignments and use Classroom for GitHub to manage that organization. If / when you decide to stop using Classroom for GitHub you can remove your organization and it will clean up after itself.

2. GitHub Enterprise is not supported, but others have requested this feature: https://github.com/education/classroom/issues/240

3. I'm having a hard time understanding your situation, but would appreciate it if you could file an issue at https://github.com/education/classroom/issues/new, can't promise that it will be fixed immediately, but need to gather feedback like this.

Thanks for the suggestion, we're working on more and better documentation for teachers.

It's totally free. Teachers can request free private repositories at https://education.github.com/discount

Yes, you can set up 3rd party access restrictions on your organization accounts and manage access for each organization independently.

Researchers are eligible too.

No, these repositories are created in the teacher's organization account. Totally separate from your individual repositories.

Classroom for Github automates repository creation and access control, making it easy for teachers to distribute starter code and collect assignments from students.

This is great, thanks for sharing.

This is a timely post, Alexey.

Today, we released Classroom for GitHub: https://classroom.github.com

Rather than polling the API, you could use webhooks to avoid hitting the rate limit: https://developer.github.com/webhooks/
