GitHub limits the number of repositories an organization can have; we cannot keep copies of every project every student ever made; we will have to delete them at some point.
GitHub limits the number of repositories an organization can have; we cannot keep copies of every project every student has ever made, and we will have to delete them at some point.

We decided to keep students' projects for up to 30 days after graduation, which gives you plenty of time to backup all your code because the process takes no more than 2 minutes.

## Start by making your projects public

We understand that you may prefer to keep some projects private. That is a completely valid choice, but it is important that you understand the implications. If you decide to keep your projects as **private repositories**, you will lose access to them once you are no longer a member of the 4Geeks Academy organization.

> 👉 We strongly recommend making all your repositories public from day one.
