Warning:
-
When removing an outside collaborator from a private repository, the paid license count does not automatically downgrade. To pay for fewer licenses after removing users from your organization, follow the steps in "Downgrading your organization's paid seats."
-
You are responsible for ensuring that people who have lost access to a repository delete any confidential information or intellectual property.
While forks of private repositories are deleted when a collaborator is removed, the person will still retain any local clones of your repository.
