title: What security issue is caused by changing the visibility of a fork on Github?
body: <p>On Github, say I forked a project but did not want to display it on my profile because the project relates to something that I am not allowed to work on for non-compete reasons.</p>
  <p>When I try to set the fork to private, I receive this error message on Github:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>&quot;For security reasons, you cannot change the visibility of a fork.&quot;</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>What are the potential security implications of changing the visibility of a fork?</p>
