I don’t use GitHub for anything serious, rather my own Gitea. However:

> Any commits made to your private fork after you make the “upstream” repository public are not viewable.

Does that mean a private repo that has never been or will be public isn’t accessible? That scenario wasn’t mentioned.




My understanding is that you are correct. If the repo and all of its forks stay private then the only people that would be able to view them are people who have permissions to access those repos.
