About billing for Git Large File Storage

Note

Du musst Abrechnungseinstellungen und kostenpflichtige Features für jedes deiner Konten separat verwalten. Du kannst mit dem Kontextumschalter, der sich auf jeder Einstellungsseite befindet, zwischen den Einstellungen für dein persönliches Konto, deine Organisationskonten und deine Unternehmenskonten wechseln. Weitere Informationen findest du unter About billing on GitHub.

Each GitHub account receives a certain amount of free bandwidth and storage for Git LFS, depending on the account's plan. Bandwidth is billed for each GiB of data downloaded. Storage is billed by calculating an hourly usage rate. To estimate costs for paid Git LFS usage, you can use the GitHub pricing calculator.

Bandbreite und Speichernutzung werden nur gegen das Konto des Repository-Inhabers angerechnet. In Forks werden Bandbreite und Speichernutzung gegen den Stamm des Repository-Netzwerks angerechnet. Jeder, der Schreibzugriff auf ein Repository hat, kann Dateien auf Git LFS verschieben, ohne seine persönliche Bandbreite und Speichernutzung. Das Forking und Abrufen eines Repository zählt gegen die Bandbreitennutzung des übergeordneten Repository.

The following amounts of bandwidth and storage are included for free with your GitHub account.

Pricing for paid usage

If you use more than the included amount of bandwidth or storage for your plan throughout the month, you can still use Git LFS. GitHub bills for additional GiBs of data at the rates below.

Bandwidth$0.0875
Storage$0.07

Sample storage cost calculation

For example, if you use 1 GiB above what is included for free for the first 15 days of April, then use 2 GiB starting from April 16th to the end of the month, your storage costs will be calculated in the following way.

  • 1 GiB × 15 days × 24 hours per day = 360 GiB-hours
  • 2 GiB × 15 days × 24 hours per day = 720 GiB-hours
  • 360 GiB-hours + 720 GiB-hours = 1080 GiB-hours
  • 1080 GiB-hours / 720 hours in the month = 1.5 GiB-months

In this example, GitHub would bill for 1.5 GiB of storage for the month of April.
