Internal repositories are now generally available for GitHub Enterprise

GitHub has officially launched the internal repository visibility feature, which allows any member of an enterprise account to read repositories owned by the enterprise, following a successful public beta and valuable user feedback. Throughout the beta phase, over 100 enterprise customers and numerous individual developers provided input, which significantly shaped the feature's development. Initially, users were confused about the scope of visibility, mistaking repositories as organization-wide rather than enterprise-wide due to limited guidance and the novelty of enterprise accounts. In response, GitHub made several changes, such as updating the repository creation dialog to clarify visibility distinctions, adding documentation for "enterprise members," and enhancing API endpoints and search filters. These adjustments aimed to improve user understanding and experience, emphasizing the importance of customer feedback in the process. GitHub also plans to extend this feature in the upcoming release of GitHub Enterprise Server 2.20, ensuring a consistent experience across its Cloud and Server platforms.
