Personal repositories are public by default, and for organizations you can change the default visibility (default one might be private, not sure about that).
Oh wow, I just tested this and found the source of my confusion.
I'm know it's not cool, but I have used GitHub Desktop all the time, for years. In the GitHub Desktop app, my new personal repos are private by default.
However, on the github.com, they are public by default.
That seems a bit weird, and a dangerous place for inconsistency. I certainly prefer the private by default behavior. I would love to know the PM lore about this difference.
