About repository visibility changes

Note: If you can't change a repository's visibility, the organization owner may have restricted the ability to change repository visibility to organization owners only. For more information, see "Restricting repository visibility changes in your organization."

We recommend reviewing the following caveats before you change the visibility of a repository.

Warning: Changes to the visibility of a large repository or repository network may affect data integrity. Visibility changes can also have unintended effects on forks. GitHub recommends the following before changing the visibility of a repository network.

  • Wait for a period of reduced activity on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance.

  • Contact your site administrator before proceeding. Your site administrator can contact us for further assistance by visiting GitHub Enterprise Support.
