Is it really necessary to disguise a Linode referrer link using bit.ly in the

You might be able to do a quick happy medium by generating a "vanity url" such

for updated-infrequently-if-ever repos, github's pricing doesn't make a lot of
sense. i have plenty of small, one-off repos i'd love to back up on github but
it doesn't make sense for me to upgrade plans for them.

i just back up to multiple boxes, but i can understand why someone would want
something centralized and specific.

I agree. My small company has many 1-2 week dev efforts that we'd like to have
on GitHub but simply can't afford it. I've tried creating a "small project"
repository and using different branches to host the different projects but am
definitely not satisified. GitHub NEEDS a size-limited hosting plan.
