I think you can pretty safely know. People store sensitive information, passwords, keys, etc in private repos aaaall the time. It would be an entirely unnecessary complexity for copilot to try to filter out that sensitive information. It's not like there's a deficiency of public code on GitHub. It wouldn't make any sense to train on private repos.
- pabs3 4y agoAll that stuff is in public repos too, so really they should filter out those things from public repos too. The only difference I can see is that private repos are usually proprietary and GitHub didn't want to anger their paying customers, who usually have proprietary code on GitHub.
