GitHub Discussions now available for private repositories

GitHub Discussions, initially launched as a public beta in December 2020, has become a popular collaborative forum for open source communities to engage in conversations, ask questions, and share updates. Now available for private repositories, Discussions offers a secure platform for educational institutions and developer networks like Stripe to facilitate communication and collaboration. Educators and students use private Discussions to discuss topics and questions safely, while Stripe leverages it to connect developers and gather feedback in a dedicated private network. To enable Discussions in private repositories, admins can activate the feature in the settings, and further information is available through GitHub Discussions documentation.
