+### Private Repo Support
+
+It's now possible to specify a private GitHub repo when creating a template.
+
+This feature is intended for use among [Teams](/reference/teams) and [Organizations](/reference/teams). Users supporting a subscriber base may also find this feature helpful to distribute closed-source code. 
+
+To deploy a template that includes a private repo, look for the `GitHub` panel in the `Account Integrations` section of [General Settings](https://railway.app/account). Then select the `Edit Scope` option to grant Railway access to the desired private repos.
