10/30/2024, 5:21 PMThanks @Andrij David,
lakeFS currently does not support public repositories but it does sound like an interesting feature.
Would you mind opening a feature request so that we could discuss this with our product team?

11/04/2024, 6:17 PMCan you explain what you mean by repository ownership?

Andrij David
11/04/2024, 6:54 PMRepo A is owned by user X and is set to private hence only visible by user X
Repo B is owned by user Y and is set to private but explicitly shared to user X. So both users X and Y have access to it.
TLDR; same functionality as GitHub with repository ownership and visibility

11/04/2024, 6:58 PMlakeFS doesn't have a notion of ownership of repository, branch or object. What we do have is a permissions model which allows providing read/write permissions for these entities. So in your case you can provide read/write permissions using groups and policies. However, this feature is available for Cloud or Enterprise or for users who develop their own authorization server.

11/04/2024, 6:59 PMBy default you can consider all lakeFS repositories as "private"
