Is it possible to check the existence of a private repository and the name of the repository?
Is it possible to see the internal code of the private repository?
I visited github of some famous people but there were only public repositories.
The answer is No. No one can see your private repository, as well as the repository name.
You can check it yourself in your browser incognito mode.

I have a public repository in Github. Recently, I made it private to do major work on the project. However, I want to show a message such as "The project is under construction" so people can wait for major change. Now, after making the repo private, the URL tells "404 page not found..." How to show a public message or readme at the same time keeping the repo private. Thank you.
I would:
keep the repository public
change the README to indicate the project is under construction
create a separate private repository, based on the history of the public one
go on working on the private repository;
Once the major work is ready, I would push back to the public (frozen) repository.
How to create private projects on stackblitz on which only my team can work?
Right now anyone can access my projects .
for example:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/signup
Stackblitz now allows private repos.
Simply click on the lock icon (or the settings icon) and check the "Make project private" checkbox.
If you connect your github account it will create a private github repository since github now allows private repos even on the free tier.
Currently there is no such feature as to create a private project mark project/files as hidden.
But there is a feature request for that: https://github.com/stackblitz/core/issues/134
Currently I'm working in a private repo in Github, so the commits I make don't show up on my public profile.
Later, when the project is finished I will make the repo public.
Will the commits I made back when it was private then show up on my public profile with the correct dates?
I tried it myself, and yes, it does indeed make the past commits public.
I have some private github repos that contains the work that I am most proud of. I would like potential employers to see this code. Is it possible for me to give them a link to the private repository so they can view my work?
You could either:
create a private repo in bitbucket and push your project there, then send an invitation to employers' emails
add potential employers as collaborators to your private Github repo.
On the main repo's page, go to the "Settings" tab
On the nav links to the right, "Collaborators"
I'd recommend against zipping the project and sending them the whole thing, as they'd either not see the git history, or see your entire git configuration, depending on how you zip the folder... And I think seeing how a developer works with git is important in addition to seeing the code itself...
There are few option for you:
If you have private repositary on your machine, then public into bitbucket or github and making private repo.
If you have private repositary online you can invite them to the repositary and give them privilages that you want to.
Make latest backup of your repositary and send it to them.
Hope it helps.
I am going to release some beta version of my application to the community. Project is stored on GitHub in the private repository.
I would like to allow this community to report bugs and place them directly on GitHub Issues tab - it's not provided by GitHub right now. Do you have any idea, how to cover this flow ?
Not possible as of 2019-09 as documented at: https://help.github.com/articles/issues-only-access-permissions/ (archive):
GitHub does not provide issues-only access permissions, but you can accomplish this using a second repository which contains only the issues.
They suggest that you create a separate public repository just for the issues instead.
Possible same request: Github-like hosting, with private source, public ticketing system
Bitbucket provides this. You can keep the code private but make tracker public (anyone can view, create, and comment on issues).
Use the API access and program some minimal frontend yourself - https://docs.github.com/en/rest/issues
