Description

Hello,

I can't get code preview in any channels when I link a file from a private repo. I have no error messages when I set MM server to debug mode. It just send default Github public link metadata.

Mattermost Server team edition version 6.2.1
Github plugin 2.0.1
Code Previews enabled for public and private repositories in Github plugin configuration
Connected via /github connect private
Tested with a Dockerfile from a public and private repos

I tested reconnecting account to GH, disabling/enabling Code Preview

I don't know if I'm missing something, tell me if you need more information.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the issue with Mattermost 6.2.1, GitHub plugin 2.0.1, a private-repository Dockerfile, enabled Code Previews, and /github connect private; compare the result with a public repository and review the plugin's code-preview handling. Done means private-repository links produce code-preview metadata rather than default public-link metadata.
