From the article:
> Microsoft employee Sam Smith replied to Under the Breach’s tweet stating that he thought the leak was fake as “Msft has a “rule” that GitHub repos must be public within 30 days.”
Does that mean MS bans the use of GitHub for permanently storing private repos?
- Havoc 6y agoComment above says their private stuff is on azure devops
- orta 6y agoWe (the TypeScript team) have a bunch of private repos (blog post drafts, planning docs, reproduction repos, rando internal tooling ) on GitHub that are many years old. I'm pretty sure that Sam was mistaken here.
- wwwigham 6y agoTo be fair, we had to file for exceptions to the 30 day policy for a lot those. Not that any of them are terribly important to be private; a private GitHub repo is just a convenient discussion form for collaboratively composing blog posts and such (change tracking and reviews are so nice). The blog post one, in particular, probably gets a pass because everything composed on it is eventually published in the open anyway (albeit without the discussion and editorial history).
