Re:GitHub Private Repos Considered Private-­Ish by lvkv on Sunday June 04, 2023 @09:44AM (#36185553)
GitHub Enterprise had (has?) an interesting loophole to discover the existence of private repositories.

Attempting to transfer ownership of a repository to another user was aborted if the user had a repository of the same name—even if it was private.

Public GitHub doesn’t seem to have this issue with the transfer request system, though. Maybe it did at some point?
