The repository `training-manual` in the @githubtraining organization is private. It's only visible to members of that organization. If you're not a member of the organization, it'll appear like the repository doesn't exist to you. This is an example of why having the right ownership structure is important. Having too many organizations with restrictive permissions silos and isolates each organization's work.

The repository `training-manual` in the @githubtraining organization is private. There are three types of repository visiility: public, internal, and private. Our repository, `githubtraining/training-manual`, isn't public. It could be internal, which means only members of the organizations that an account owns will see it, or it could be private, which means only teams and individuals that have been granted access to it can see it. Otherwise, it'll appear like the repository doesn't exist to you. This is an example of why having the right ownership structure is important. Having too many organizations with restrictive permissions silos and isolates each organization's work.

Here are some recommendations based on some :sparkles: use of GitHub that we've seen:
14-
- Aim for as few organizations as possible. Remember, each organization is a black box to those outside of that organization.
14+
- Use the internal visibility (currently in beta) if you're working on behalf of an account with multiple organizations
1515
- Name your repositories in a meaningful manner. Usually a simple project or application name will suffice.
