Hosting a Private maven repository on GitHub

Question

I know there is a way to host your maven repos on github by making it public. but is there a way to host a private repo on github? the examples I have found on the web like: https://engineering.groupon.com/2014/misc/maven-and-github-forking-a-github-repository-and-hosting-its-maven-artifacts/ are all public repos. My maven repo is a private repo and i want to host it as a private repo

If you upgrade from Free to Micro on GitHub then you can have private repositories.

You also need to make sure that you authenticate properly when accessing the repositories even for reading otherwise it will appear as the private repositories do not exist.
