Hi and welcome to our forums,
Is it possible to use the github integrated automatic updates using a private repository?
I'm afraid this is not possible. The Updater needs access to the releases URL on GitHub API which is not possible on a private repository.
Even if you generate an access token, you can not pass that argument to the URL. You must specify the access token via Authorization header. More information on Deprecating API authentication through query parameters article.

As a workaround, you can create a second Repository for releases. You can check the Can I make releases public from a private github repo? article which I think you may find it useful.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Liviu
