Problem Faced:
GitHub Repository Denial
While working on this project, I initially attempted to use a public GitHub repository to share updates and collaborate with other developers. However, GitHub started denying submissions to the public repository, citing potential conflicts with sensitive or proprietary information being exposed.It was denied due to paypal integration, due to security reason.
Upgrade or make this repository public to enable Wikis -means every repo can't be public.
GitHub Wikis is a simple way to let others contribute content. Any GitHub user can create and edit pages to use for documentation, examples, support, or anything you wish.
Solution: Using a Private Repository
To address this, I switched to a private GitHub repository to ensure secure collaboration and protect project data. Here's how I resolved the issue:
1-Removed the Existing Remote: Disconnected the public repository by running:
git remote remove origin
2-Connected to a Private Repository: Added a new private repository as the remote using:
git remote add origin https://github.com/your-username/private-repo.git
3-
Pushed Changes to the Private Repository
git push -u origin main
