Hello @mborl,

Welcome to GitHub! :slight_smile:

Yes, if you fork a private repository on an account that does not have a paid plan, the fork will remain private and will not count against your private repository quota. My understanding is that a branch of a private repo would also remain private, but I haven’t tested this out so can’t confirm this behaviour.

​If there’s anything else I can help you with, let me know; so happy to help further!

Kindest regards,
Matthew
