How many public repositories can be made on GitHub for individual account?

I was interested to know, how many public repositories can be created on GitHub for an individual account (not an organization account). Is their any limit on number of public repositories that can be created on GitHub.

The "What plan should I choose?" page mentions:

GitHub provides two types of plans: free plans and paid plans.

Both plans have the exact same features. They can have any number of public repositories, with unlimited collaborators.

That being said, too much of anything will be eventually detected and reviewed by GitHub in order to check if the service isn't abused.

Update April 2020: as I explained in "Can a repository on GitHub be owned by 2 users?", "GitHub is now free for teams".
The number of public or private repo is now unlimited.

You can have unlimitted Private as well as Public repos in github free. But still there are limitations for private repos like you dont get protected branches , wikis, pages, insight etc.

You can get these by upgrading to GitHub Pro in your individual account itself you dont have to switch to an organisation account.

Theoretically, everyone can has an unlimited number of public and private repositories even as part of a free plan.

Public repositories don't have officially any restrictions even as part of a free plan.
