[All GH-900 Questions]

Which of the following statements most accurately describes secret gists?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Secret gists on GitHub are 'unlisted' gists, meaning they are not publicly discoverable but can be viewed by anyone who has the URL.

Visibility of Secret Gists:

Option A is correct because secret gists can be viewed by anyone who has the direct URL, making them accessible yet unlisted.

Incorrect Options:

Option B is incorrect because secret gists do not require GitHub Enterprise; they are available on all GitHub accounts.

Option C is incorrect because secret gists do not appear on the gist Discover page.

Option D is incorrect because secret gists do not have an 'assigned access' feature; access is determined by sharing the URL.

Really? I’m not sure about that, sounds too open for a "secret" gist.

So, if I share the URL, my friends can see it?

I'm leaning towards option A because it makes sense that sharing the URL allows access, but I need to double-check my notes on this.

I feel like option B might be misleading; I don't think you need GitHub Enterprise for secret gists, but I could be mistaken.

I remember practicing a question about gists, and I think secret gists are not listed publicly, so option C seems wrong.

I think secret gists can be viewed by anyone who has the URL, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the main point.

I'm leaning towards B - secret gists require GitHub Enterprise. That seems to fit with the idea of them being more private and controlled. But I'm not 100% sure, so I'll have to double-check my understanding.

Okay, let me see. The key here is understanding what a "secret gist" is. I'm guessing it's a way to share code snippets privately on GitHub. Based on that, I think the answer is D - only users with assigned access can view the gist.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know secret gists are supposed to be private, but the options don't seem to clearly explain how that works. I'll have to think this through carefully.

A) Anyone with the URL for the gist can view the gist. Hmm, I thought gists were supposed to be private. Guess I need to be more careful with my links!

D) Users with assigned access can view the gist. That makes the most sense to me. Gists are meant to be shared with specific people, not the whole world!

I agree, keeping gists private is important for sharing sensitive information.
