Open source - Island RTL a private repository?

Hey,

I dont really know, when i clone “Island RTL” on my Computer from Github and I create a repository on my hard-disk, is this repository private or public? Even if i want make private changes, which no one should know about yet?

Would love a clarification about this :neutral_face:

When you clone a repository locally with git it’s private. When you use the github “fork” functionality it creates a copy under your username.

So this user-based-copy is totally private?

My workdirectory and the repository?

Is the “fork” then private or can anybody who want see my work on this “fork-clone”?

Your local copy is totally private (The local repository is stored in a .git directory locally). If you fork it on github you can make it private if you want to, but it defaults to public.

Aha, ok thank you :slight_smile:

even if just have a free github-account, where i dont pay 7$/monthly for it?

No then you can’t make it private.

And who exactly, can see my changes or generally, my work?

Just the RemObj guys of the IslandRtl or every human ?

If you fork it on github, and the repository is public, everyone can see it. If it’s private only you can see it.

hm ok, i think i will use Github then and everyone is able to see it then, no matter.

I dont add such fancy algorithms that it worth to patent it :joy: :joy:

Ok but thanks for your suggestions :slight_smile:
