GitHub

Git Hub! One minute, you’re rating titties, the next you’re covering the world’s largest public code repository. Such is the life of a porn web emperor. You too, might need Github down the line. Trust me. I know it sounds like an extremely nerdy scenario and you’d rather give Github a pass, but you should definitely reconsider, because this site’s got a ton to offer. You might know this site as that place where indie developers put their code for the world to see and yes, that is what they’re famous for.

But, beneath the surface, they’ve got so much more to offer. Naturally, they have a ton of paid subscriptions for larger teams, but this isn’t just about increasing the storage space you’re given. By the way, that’s 500MB for a free account, up to 50GB for enterprise. That’s irrelevant, though. You’re not paying for the storage; you’re paying for the extra features.

Github isn’t just some random ass server farm. If that were the case, I’d advise you to just use the free 15GB you get from Google Drive and be done with it. Nah. Github is a huge, professional company that offers you a ridiculous amount of both automated and manual support and tools to protect your privacy and the integrity of your websites. Whether you’re hosting porn videos or reviewing cock rings, Github will make sure that all your software's ins and outs are tended to professionally.

Why Should You Care?

Beyond the amazing security features and the outstanding enterprise customer support, there’s still more to Github than meets the eye. But, you kind of have to be a programmer to see the potential. You see, in open-source coding spaces, all of the people involved are either open-source developers themselves or, at the very least, they’re used to the concept. This also means that they’re fans of extensibility, by default.

So, if you’re using Github to host your projects, websites, code, concepts and ideas, you can bet your ass you’re going to get a ton of free help and collaboration, especially if your projects are helping other people as well.

Now, if you’re not a developer, you probably don’t see the big picture here, but consider this. Consider you hire a developer on Upwork or Fiverr or what have you and you let them use your Github subscription so that they can better manage your site. Suddenly, you’re cooking with fire. The damn site comes with an uncountable number of add-ons for your projects that can automate damn near everything in your life.

These are professional open-source programmers you’re dealing with. They don’t fuck around. So, if there’s something that your website needs, no matter how convoluted, as long as it’s digitally possible, your developer will find you a solution using Github’s enterprise subscription. It’s like a gateway into an amazing world of infinite possibilities. And all of this is backed up by a professional support team whose sole purpose is to protect you and your investment. That’s fucking outstanding.

Zero Downtime, 100% Workflow

That should be Github’s new motto, for real. Let me guide you through some of the enterprise plan features to give you a better idea of what you actually get with this amazing site. You can set up IP-specific access credentials, to keep undesirables away from your code. Then, you can hire a bunch of developers to cover all of your DevOps needs.

Right off the bat, I’m seeing at least a handful of add-ons on the Github marketplace that your boys are going to want to get their hands on in order to bring every part of your business together. First up, we’ve got the Slack + Github integration, so that all of your Slack activity is seamlessly piped to Github and back. That’s one less interaction to worry about. Next up, we’ve got Teamwork GitHub Sync, in case you don’t feel like using an external team tracking service like Trello. So far, so good; we’re simplifying the process.

Next up, I see Image Actions, a plugin that programmatically compresses images for web use. Now, who could possibly find a use for that? Perhaps, a porn web guru who’s got tons of pictures of naked chicks to put up on his site? You see where I’m going with this. There’s a tool for literally every single thing that you’re going to be doing on a daily basis.

You will never do anything manually ever again. And, don’t forget the most important part. All of this shit is either open-source or comes with an API. That means that you can hire someone to write a one-time integration code that will forever automate that process. Code it once, so you never have to do it again. That’s a good motto to live by.

The Free Version

All right, let’s talk about the painful part – the money. First up, we’ve got the free version of Github that comes with unlimited public and private repositories with unlimited collaborators. That latter part was added recently, I believe, but Github promises that they’ll keep that change forever. I believe them. It’s nice to see that they don’t limit the number of projects you can have, even under the free version. It’s a sign of good moral character as far as I’m concerned.

They do, however, limit you in terms of storage space. 500MB, as I mentioned. You can also only perform 2000 action minutes per month. Pulling and pushing updates doesn’t count as an action, but running automated workflow scripts does. So, you get 2000 minutes of that kind of action per month. Simple enough. Under the free plan, you’re also privy to community support. Hell, you’re encouraged to use it. And… that’s about it.

Paying the Big Bucks

Moving on up away from the $0 bracket, we’ve got the Team package at $4 per user per month. You can think of this version as identical to the team version, with a bit more space and action time. And, there’s also one other large difference – the free version comes with most of the available features on the site, limited to public repositories. The Team subscription, on the other hand, lets you perform these same tasks on private repos. For example, you can set up code owners and branch rules to control how merges are conducted. You can assign roles to people so that a rookie doesn’t accidentally sand blast your code to hell and back.

The Enterprise subscription, which costs a whopping $21 per user per month, is again, very similar to the other two, but with two major differences. The minutes and storage are enormous, 50,000 minutes and 50GB. And, you get a ton of security and support features that undoubtedly cost GitHub a lot of money. I’m assuming that’s why they upped the price so much for this subscription. I mean, they offer you non-stop, 24/7 phone and text support. If anything goes wrong, they fix it. I’d gladly pay for that kind of security.

Do You Need It?

All right, I’ll level with you. Most porn webmasters run WordPress sites with a video hosting template and they embed videos from external sources. It’s not pretty, it’s not fun, but you can make money by showing people videos of women’s vaginas. It’s just the way the world works. My point is, you probably won’t need Github for a standard web porn operation. Still, there’s valuable information here and you should keep it in mind. The porn world is ever-changing. And yeah, you could just WordPress your way around a video hosting site, but check this out. The second you try and do something even remotely new, you suddenly realize that you need GitHub.

Take, for example, VR Porn. Say you want to stream VR porn straight to people’s headsets. Simple, right? Except… VR players are notorious for being incompatible with video drivers and different sized videos seem to crap out in different ways. And don’t get me started on how problematic different video formats are. It’s as if half of the time, my computer can’t even decide what codec it wants to use and for what.

Ok, that was a lot of nerd talk, but here’s the gist of it. If you want to stream VR porn to people, you should make your own app and guarantee that it works great. Hell, make sure it’s better than anyone else’s. That way, you’re making money and you’re knocking down the competition, all through sheer hard work. And who’s going to be here to help you when you need to scrounge up this app and make sure it works perfectly? Your freelance developer and your Github subscription. Do you see my point?
