Public comment history in a private Gist #22761
-
|
Inside a private Gist (secret), I got this message after I made changes to a comment that a user made to my Gist.
Does this mean that my private Gist will be turned into a public Gist? |

That just means that anyone who can see the comments can also see the edits that have been made to the comments - it doesn’t change anything about the gist itself. |

I see. So the gist is still private (secret), so that’s good. But I’m not sure I understand the concern… I mean I don’t expect to keep secrets among the people (friends) I decide to share the gist link with. Is this what it’s about? Keeping secrets among friends (people I share the gist with)?.. Example…
If I understood correctly… So it’s to prevent this and to alert me about this that I got the popup message above? |

Yup! It’s just to let you know that editing a comment doesn’t make the old comment go away - it’s important to us that people understand what information is available to others when they use GitHub. |
