GitHub API: List repositories endpoint does not filter by type=sources

Hey there!

It looks like I've found an issue with the GitHub repositories API. Repositories endpoint /repos does not filter by type=sources.

Here is what I see in the documentation:

type string
Specifies the types of repositories you want returned. ...
...
Can be one of: all, public, private, forks, sources, member, internal

However, when I call an API at: api.github.com/users/<user>/repos?type=sources it also returns forks, which I think it should not.

Also, the result is identical to the one that I would get with ?type=public

Is this a known issue?
Thanks!

The link in your bug report points to List organization repositories with the syntax: /orgs/{org}/repos

The link you provided has the syntax: api.github.com/users/<user>/repos... which corresponds to List repositories for a user.

type string
Limit results to repositories of the specified type.

Default: owner

Can be one of: all, owner, member

Yes, you are right! Sorry, my mistake 😢

And how to return the result with type private because i followed the documentation and returns an empty array.
