If it’s your own repo presumably you know exactly where that repo is going to go. The vast majority of private repos are never going to go public. I have many repos for projects that there is no chance I would ever make public, they’re not that kind of project. And even if I really did want them to be public, I would make a new repo for them instead.
Yes, but they're your repos, not an organization's. I'm certainly not going to question your self-knowledge. You may know that, and if you work with one or a couple other people closely they might know that too. The challenge is when you grow beyond that or don't always have the chance to communicate about these types of things, especially when they seem very obvious but might not be.
