Body

I would like to request the ability to use default community health files (e.g., CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, etc.) from an internal .github repository. Currently, this functionality is only available for public .github repositories, which limits its use in organizations that require internal repository visibility for compliance or security reasons.

This feature would allow organizations to centralize and standardize community health files across repositories while maintaining internal visibility. It would be especially beneficial for organizations that manage a large number of repositories and need to enforce consistent contribution guidelines, security policies, and other community standards without making the .github repository public.

Thank you for considering this enhancement to improve GitHub's flexibility for organizations with stricter visibility requirements.
