An organization owner must allow forks of private{% ifversion ghes or ghec %} and internal{% endif %} repositories on the organization level before you can allow or disallow forks for a specific repository. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."

You can help prevent sensitive information from being exposed by disabling the ability to fork repositories in your organization. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."
