The GitHub app for Slack currently requires the Slack @github bot account to be in the Slack channel (Including private DM channels, which make it quite inconvenient) for unfurling of links to private content to work. AFAIK this isn't actually required in Slack and I can see other apps unfurl private links without that requirement, e.g. ClickUp.
Describe alternatives you've considered
End up no seeing unfurls cause adding the @github bot account everywhere is annoying and not required by other apps for private link unfurls.
