If you're a student learning software development, the GitHub Student Developer Pack is something you should probably know about.
It gives eligible students access to GitHub and a collection of developer tools and services from different partners, with some offers available for up to two years.
The interesting part is that it's much more than just GitHub Pro.
Depending on the current offers, students can get access to tools related to:
- Cloud and infrastructure
- Development environments
- AI tools
- Domains and hosting
- Databases
- APIs
- Design
- Security
- Developer productivity
GitHub currently states that student verification lasts for two years, and students can re-verify their status afterward if they remain eligible.
I recently organized the information I found into a small open-source project:
GitHub Student Pack Guide
It's a guide to the benefits available through the Student Developer Pack, with the information organized by category to make it easier to find useful tools.
The repository is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese:
https://github.com/quintana-dev/github-student-pack-guide
I built this mainly because when you're starting out as a developer, it's easy to pay for tools without realizing that some of them may already be available through your student status.
If you're currently studying software development, it's worth checking what you have access to before paying for developer tools yourself.
