Description
Github has added new repository types in the last year and it would be nice to be able to filter them out during repository discovery in a Github org folder. We do not want to include "internal" repositories in our org scan as these can contain Jenkinsfiles but are not intended to be built. This was not an issue previously because we used service accounts and repository access management, but "internal" repositories are visible to all members of the github org.
This is somewhat related to and possibly resolved by this PR:
https://github.com/jenkinsci/github-branch-source-plugin/pull/344
I believe a graphql query could filter out internal repositories.
