Which statement about Private Repositories is true?

• A. They are only accessible to you, the people you share access with, and organizational members
• B. They are publicly accessible with a link
• C. They are archived and read-only
• D. They do not support secret scanning

Answer: (A)

Private repositories are designed to keep code visible only to those you explicitly grant access to—yourself, the people you share access with, and organizational members who have been given permissions. This means they are not publicly accessible, even with a link, which is the defining feature of privacy for these repos. The idea that a private repo is archived and read-only or that it cannot be scanned for secrets doesn't fit the actual access model: archiving is a separate state you can apply regardless of privacy, and secret scanning can be enabled for private repositories with the right security features. So the statement that best reflects how private repositories work is that they are accessible only to you, the people you share access with, and organizational members.
