Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Secret gists on GitHub are 'unlisted' gists, meaning they are not publicly discoverable but can be viewed by anyone who has the URL.

Visibility of Secret Gists:

Option A is correct because secret gists can be viewed by anyone who has the direct URL, making them accessible yet unlisted.

Incorrect Options:

Option B is incorrect because secret gists do not require GitHub Enterprise; they are available on all GitHub accounts.

Option C is incorrect because secret gists do not appear on the gist Discover page.

Option D is incorrect because secret gists do not have an 'assigned access' feature; access is determined by sharing the URL.

Option D sounds good to me. I mean, if it's a secret gist, it should only be visible to those with the right permissions, am I right?

D definitely seems like the correct answer. Only users with assigned access should be able to view secret gists.
