How do I index private repositories?
Ensure your GitHub token has `repo` permissions for the private repositories you want to index.
How long does it take to index a repository?
Indexing time varies by size – small repos (<1000 files) typically take 1–2 minutes, larger ones 10–15 minutes. Use `get_repository_info` to check status.
