GH-REPO-LIST(1)

💅 gh-repo-list(1) — the GitHub CLI manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real quick: this is gh-repo-list(1) from the GitHub CLI manual, and it's literally the page that shows you all the repos a person or an org owns. grab a snack, we're listing 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

gh-repo-list — list repositories owned by a user or organization 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gh repo list [<owner>] [flags]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Lists repositories owned by a user or an organization. that's it, that's the vibe 👑

⚠️ okay this part matters so listen up: the list will only include repositories owned by the provided argument, and the --fork or --source flags will not traverse ownership boundaries. for example, when listing the forks in an organization, the output would not include those owned by individual users. no cap, it stays in its lane 💅
