Can I share my private GitHub repository by link?

Question

I have a Java application in a private repository on GitHub and I would like to share it with someone who doesn't have an account. I didn't find any option on the site for this.

Is there a way to do this? Collaborators can be only GitHub users.

You need to add the others as collaborators to the project. – GAVD Jul 07 '15 at 09:05 — GAVD, Jul 07 '15 at 09:05

There is no way to share private repository among non-Github users.

You need the Github account and be added as collaborator to the project.
