GitHub has received a $250m infusion of venture-capital cash that values the code-sharing website at $2bn.
That means it's worth more than ZenDesk ($1.78bn), slightly less than the New York Times ($2.17bn), and more than stricken Yelp ($1.87bn).
The San Francisco-based upstart said its Series-B funding round was led by VC bigwigs Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive Capital, and Institutional Venture Partners. The round is the second major fundraising push for GitHub. In 2012, the site raised $100m in venture funding. GitHub was founded in 2008, and today has about 300 total employees.
The site reports it hosts 25 million source code repositories, and has 10 million registered users and 33 million unique monthly visits.

Oh, that sound of male ego. You travel halfway across the galaxy and
it's still the same song.

In order to have a private repository hosted you have to pay 7$ monthly. I do it and i'm sure plenty of others do too.
