Hi! Have you looked at the Gotchas section in the readme?

https://github.com/danurbanowicz/eleventy-netlify-boilerplate#gotchas

You might need to regenerate your Github access token after forking to a private repo.

Yeah, but then the Netlify Identity is asking for access on all private repos. Is there any way/workflow so that only the forked private repo access is sufficient?

This is issue is rather a question, not an issue with the project.

Thanks

For now I created new Github account with just one private repo and gave whatever permissions Netlify is asking, and everything is working as expected. But I didn't liked this, and waiting for any improvements from Netlify in future.
