I am finally moving to GitHub for source control. We can only use a public repo for a project were doing, but how public is public? Is it safe to assume that if I do not publicize the project at all, no one will really find it among the 3 mil repos they already have?

I cannot really have people seeing the source code as of right now, but 7/mo is a little steep for needing just 1 private repo.

    No. That’s not a safe assumption. GitHub has a search engine for public repos, and people use it (including myself). So, there’s always a decent possibility that someone will see your source-code. If you want a free private repo, I suggest using BitBucket instead, or another service that offers free private repos. Note that BitBucket is only free if you have 5 or fewer users working in your repo.
