Question

A startup published an internal utility as a public repository by mistake. The engineering lead asks you to change the repository's visibility to private immediately. After you make the change, which statement correctly describes the effect on people who had previously starred or forked the public repository?

Accepted Answer

Existing forks remain accessible to their owners and are not automatically deleted or made private

Answer

All existing forks are automatically converted to private and remain linked to your repository

Answer

Changing to private is blocked until every fork of the repository is deleted first

Answer

All stars and forks are permanently removed and the users are notified of the visibility change
