Welcome to Unreal Engine 4
What happens when you fork a private repo into a public repo on github? Is this even possible? Or how will Epic enforce the EULA?

The law enforces this, not the forking mechanism. Anyone can pay $20, fork, then clone the code, then cancel the sub, and upload back to git.

They will probably sue you.(or something) Publishing the code is a breach of the contract one signs to get access.

You get a new private repo which you can't make public. It works pretty well.

And I can turn around, make a new public repo then push the code right back up.

And your repo will get a takedown notice... So what?

Sure, but there's no technical measures in place that can stop me from publishing the code.
