Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
Changing the visibility of a repository is one of the most impactful, potentially dangerous actions because of the consequences when going from public to private or internal or vice versa:
- If you decide to make this repository public in the future, it will not be possible to restore these stars and watchers and this will affect its repository rankings.
- Dependency graph and Dependabot alerts will remain enabled with permission to perform read-only analysis on this repository. Any custom Dependabot alert rules will be disabled unless GitHub Advanced Security is enabled for this repository.
- Code scanning will become unavailable.
- Current forks will remain public and will be detached from this repository.
Currently, the consequences of changing between any of these visibilities isn't well documented in the CLI, leaving users unaware of the impact they may have while running this command.
The impacts can be found in the comments below.
