It means you are subcribed to the new Pro plan, as explained in this blog post: https://blog.github.com/2019-01-07-new-year-new-github/ |

For those of us who have been using the “Developer” tier for the unlimited private repositories, it’s really unclear what the benefit of continuing with the “Pro” plan is. Can you clarify? Note: I see that it says “advanced code review tools” in the pricing page, but without a concrete example that doesn’t mean much to me, so I’d appreciate any more details. |

The extra features you get are indeed listed right here: https://github.com/pricing If you think you don’t need the extra features, you can always downgrade your account to a free one. About the advanced code review tools; I think it would be handy if a mod jumped in and clarified that. |

I signed up for a student account for access to free private repositories. I see Pro on my profile, should I now downgrade to Free? |

On https://github.com/pricing you can compare the different plans. If you think you don’t need Pro anymore you are absolutely free to downgrade at anytime. |

Thought it was something useful and relevant to the comunity but nah is just ads. Why would I like to tell everybody what plan I am using, I find this very intrusive. |

if your using a school email for the pro account I reccomend making a private account to transfer your repos over before you graduate. this way you dont loose your repo’s if the school kills your email. Im not entirely sure how it would work but thats something I would do to stay on the safe side. You should keep you PRO account so you can create private repositories for school work (avoid having to deal with other students stealing your code) |

@dixantpatel private repo’s are availible on Free accounts as well since a few months ago. You can always update the main mail address of your account to a mail address you fully control, without having to transfer everything over to another account. |

Actually, those who use the GitHub pro plan only, they are able to get Pro Label 😊 |

The "Pro" tag on GitHub profiles signifies that the user is a GitHub Pro subscriber. Let me explain what this means:
In summary, having the "Pro" tag on your GitHub profile indicates that you are a GitHub Pro subscriber, enjoying additional features and benefits to enhance your development workflow. 🚀. |

Hello, I just noticed that my account has the "Pro" tag. However, I don’t know since when I have the Pro subscription, and I didn’t subscribe to it myself. I also didn’t do anything special recently. I only created a few new repositories, forked a repository, was invited to a private repository to collaborate on a school project, and added my school email to my account. My question is whether I might receive an invoice or run into any issues because of this, or if everything is normal and fine as it is. GitHub is working fine for me right now. I’m also not completely sure if I actually need the Pro features, but I can’t see where to manage or edit the subscription in my account. On the pricing page, nothing is shown for me. Is it okay if I just leave it as it is, or do I need to change anything? Thanks in advance for the help and sory for my bad englisch :) |
