Understanding Public and Private repositories

2 min read Updated July 23, 2026

CUEBES offers two privacy levels for your repositories. Choose the right level for your project's needs.

Privacy Levels Explained

Public

Best for: Open source projects, portfolios, learning resources

  • Anyone can view your code
  • Anyone can clone your repository
  • Only you (and collaborators) can push changes
  • Appears in public searches and your profile

Private

Best for: Personal projects, work in progress, team projects, client work

  • Only you and invited collaborators can view
  • Does not appear in searches
  • Requires authentication to clone or pull
  • Full Git client compatibility (Xcode, VS Code, etc.)

Comparison Table

Feature Public Private
Access Control Open Yes
Visible in Search Yes No
Git Client Support Yes Yes
Requires Authentication to Clone No Yes
Transport security: All access to CUEBES repositories — web, clone, push, and pull — happens over TLS-encrypted connections, and private repositories additionally require authentication with your account or a Personal Access Token.

Changing Privacy Settings

You can change your repository's privacy level at any time:

  1. Go to your Codicle
  2. Click "Settings"
  3. Under "Privacy", select your new level
  4. Click "Save Changes"
Note: Making a repository public exposes its full history. Before switching a private repository to public, make sure no secrets or credentials were ever committed.
