Private Repo - Update Guide Instructions #24

Wanted to make a suggestion to update the guide instructions for setup as a private repo.

I ran into this issue when making my forked repo private. I tracked down information that GitHub will NOT allow public forks to be private, which is what your guide advises to do. That option will be grayed out in the settings and unselectable if you do a fork.

You need to create a new repository using your "my-pihole-lists" as a template instead. When you "fork" it is as template it will give you the prompt upon creation to make it public or private and then set the repository name to the same thing of my-pihole-lists. Everything works as normal doing it that way and I could continue the guide. I had never done a private repo before so this was all new to me.
