How to Claim These Offers
All 16 offers need a verified GitHub Student Developer Pack. Apply on GitHub Education with your school email or proof of enrolment; once approved, open each tool from the pack offers page and sign in with your GitHub account. Most offers are worldwide, so they also work for students in Germany, the UK and elsewhere.
Watch the End Dates
Many pack offers run for a fixed time (6 months, 1 year, 2 years) and then switch to a free or paid plan. Note the end date when you activate a tool, and remove your card or downgrade if you do not want to pay later. Bigger pack partners have their own pages, for example Sentry, New Relic, LocalStack, Doppler and Appwrite.
