If github had an option to make private- public branches or a public "launch" page for private repo, it would have replaced playstore and other software markets long time ago

I don't know if I understood your sentence completely but, you can do gh-pages on a private repo for public or just use git-submodules to include public code and have actions to deploy app on private repo.

Orr you can use gitlab?

@melezorus34 the gh pages for private repos is a paid feature. but i have to look about this submodule feature for more details. I actually wanna do something opposite: have my code as private and my read me/ output build as public

@melezorus34

I think he means something like this.

Your private repo and its associated branch can only be access by your team. In his private repo , he wanted to create a "public branch" (which everyone can access) but every other branch is still limited to your teams.

I think he want to put his "releases" artifact on that "public branch"

@StopWastingTime

What stopping you from creating a system which automatically commit your git hub page with new release? I am not sure about it but I think your CD tool can do it.

@mr-user that still 2 repos to maintain

@StopWastingTime

After setting up the public repo you could forget about it. Your tool will manage the public repo for you.

@mr-user

Interesting. I mainly want to put readme , some screenshots and the apk for people to download . Can a bot transfer those to public repository if i manually add them in private repo?
Please point me towards some resources where i could know more of it

@StopWastingTime just use fdroid style gitlab repos. It releases the apk with readme, signs with the secret you give etc.
