Pricing (or not) for developer contributing to FOSS project

The FOSS project I contribute to has a (I believe) free Appveyor account set up, and the CI testing has proved useful for someone like myself, who does not generally use a Windows platform. I have just connected up my GitHub repository (which I obviously use as a staging area for Pull-Requests to the main project's GitHub repository which it was forked from) to Appveyor but I am not clear whether I will end up on a chargeable account after 14 days or if I will be able to debug and check my commits to my Repo before I flag them as pull-requests for peer review against the main project's repository?

Will there be any complications from the .appveyor.yml file constructed for the main project account triggering anything on my appveyor account?

    Hi Stephen,

    As long is repo is public, you are not going to be affected. If you subscribed to FREE - for open source projects at https://ci.appveyor.com/signup, it will just work. If you subscribed for 14-day trial - for private projects, it will just work as well, but you will get couple of email reminders by the end of that period and then your account will be switched to "free" mode which is enough for you.

    .appveyor.yml file constructed for the main project will work, but secure variables will obviously not be available. If you need to alter your YAML config and want to keep it out of your check-ins you can keep it on some remote location.

    Ilya.
