## Notes

GitHub holds the repository that most deployments read from. The free plan carries unlimited public and private repositories with a monthly allowance of Actions minutes; Team is $4 per user a month and Enterprise starts at $21, both with a larger allowance and metered running above it. That shape — a seat fee, an included allowance, a meter after it — is what `pricingModel` records.

## Worth knowing

Nothing of a customer's site runs here, so runtimes, deploy methods and shell access read as not applicable. A host deploying from a commit is answering a different question, recorded as `deployment: git` on the host rather than as a relationship to this record.

Regions are not applicable either: github.com is one service with no region offered as a choice. Data residency exists, but only in the enterprise product, which is not what this record describes.

[GitHub Pages](/github-pages/) is a separate record, because serving a built site and holding the repository it was built from are two different purchases.
