Gists can be {% ifversion ghae %}internal{% else %}public{% endif %} or secret. {% ifversion ghae %}Internal{% else %}Public{% endif %} gists show up in {% data variables.gists.discover_url %}, where {% ifversion ghae %}enterprise members{% else %}people{% endif %} can browse new gists as they're created. They're also searchable, so you can use them if you'd like other people to find and see your work.
Secret gists don't show up in {% data variables.gists.discover_url %} and are not searchable. Secret gists aren't private. If you send the URL of a secret gist to {% ifversion ghae %}another enterprise member{% else %}a friend{% endif %}, they'll be able to see it. However, if {% ifversion ghae %}any other enterprise member{% else %}someone you don't know{% endif %} discovers the URL, they'll also be able to see your gist. If you need to keep your code away from prying eyes, you may want to [create a private repository](/articles/creating-a-new-repository) instead.
