Hey there 👋

If you are a student or a teacher, this is for you.  
GitHub is a company for hosting OpenSource projects with unlimited space. But they also promote education, so they create a pack for students and teachers called **Student Developer Pack**

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/9/97ef51a684138f38515f7fab51e9c97d41ff07fd.png)

This pack includes 110$ to spend in AmazonWebServices plus one year trial, a .me domain for one year, unlimited private repositories on GitHub, etc. It has a lot of advantages for everyone, and it last for all the time that you are a student or a teacher, so it’s amazing!

To request the pack, go to [GitHub Education](https://education.github.com/) just click on _Request Discount_

And then you will be redirected to sign in with GitHub (create one if you don’t have one), and after that, you will have to fill one form. They will ask for your student email. If you don’t have a .edu email, you will have to send them a document that verifies you as student or teacher, and after 24-48 hours, you will receive an email of them. If you filled correctly everything, your pack will be activated and you will be able to request all features!!!

Great tip @barreeeiroo. Github Pages is a great resource for hosting free, promotional websites about your app…Or, any website you like really! 🙂

> **[GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com)**

> Websites for you and your projects, hosted directly from your GitHub repository. Just edit, push, and your changes are live.

But they only allow HTML basic pages. You can’t set up PHP pages or a database
