> Hey @levijesica, If what worries you is that your repo content will be public, you must be aware that this is true. The content that you publish in a public repo will be available for anyone to see, meaning that, hypothetically someone that is not part of your team could hit the endpoint and query the data of your API without restrictions. However this doesn't imply that is a security risk because, even if you have the endpoint you'll not be able to modify anything without access to the reposito…
