Build public + private repositories via the same agent deployment

[brendanhay]

A couple of questions regarding the mixing of public and private repositories within the same GitHub organisation:

• Is it currently possible to (safely) build public + private repositories via the same agent deployment?
• How does caching work in this instance - I don't want private artefacts being pushed to a public shared cache - would I need to ensure a singular private cache?
• Is it possible to push the artefacts from the public repository to a public cache separately? Is it possible to dictate which repository's artefacts go where?

Support for both use cases simultaneously isn't quite there yet.

• Is it currently possible to (safely) build public + private repositories via the same agent deployment?

Yes, but it requires manual approval of PRs.

• How does caching work in this instance - I don't want private artefacts being pushed to a public shared cache - would I need to ensure a singular private cache?

Not yet. Currently outputs are pushed to all configured caches. This will be configurable.

• Is it possible to push the artefacts from the public repository to a public cache separately? Is it possible to dictate which repository's artefacts go where?

You'll be able to configure a default cache for public repos and a default cache for private repos separately, per account.
