Organization profiles leading the way
Blog post from GitHub
GitHub has introduced a new feature allowing organizations to create private READMEs visible only to their members, enhancing internal communication by displaying relevant information on the organization's Overview page. This member-only README is similar to the public README but is housed in a private .github-private repository, enabling organizations to share important internal details while maintaining public and private information accessibility through a toggle feature. Additionally, organizations can now curate and pin public or private repositories specifically for their members, distinguishing between repositories that are valuable to the public and those crucial for internal use. This functionality is available to all GitHub users, with additional capabilities for organizations on the GitHub Enterprise plan, such as pinning internal repositories.
