When you remove a collaborator from your project, they lose read/write access to your repository.
Deleting forks of private repositories
Once a person is removed as a collaborator on a private repository, they will retain access to the fork, but they cannot fetch changes to sync with your repository.
While you can't delete a fork of a private repository, you can do one of these things:
- Contact your GitHub Enterprise site administrator to request the fork be deleted. Note that public forks of a repository that was public when it was forked cannot be deleted, even if the repository is now private.
- Delete the private repository, which deletes all forks.
Removing collaborator permissions from a person contributing to a repository
On GitHub Enterprise, navigate to the main page of the repository.
In the repository's right sidebar, click Settings.
In the left sidebar, click Collaborators & teams.
- Next to the collaborator you want to remove, click the X icon.
