You must enable private mode if {% data variables.product.product_location %} is publicly accessible over the Internet. In private mode, users cannot anonymously clone repositories over `git://`. If built-in authentication is also enabled, an administrator must invite new users to create an account on the instance. For more information, see "[Configuring built-in authentication](/admin/identity-and-access-management/using-built-in-authentication/configuring-built-in-authentication)."

With private mode enabled, you can allow unauthenticated Git operations (and anyone with network access to {% data variables.product.product_location %}) to read a public repository's code on your instance with anonymous Git read access enabled. For more information, see "[Allowing admins to enable anonymous Git read access to public repositories](/enterprise/{{ currentVersion }}/admin/guides/user-management/allowing-admins-to-enable-anonymous-git-read-access-to-public-repositories)."
