💅 glab(1) — the glab manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so before we even start: yes, this is a page from the glab manual, and no, it's not the whole thing — this one's specifically about moving a repo somewhere else. buckle up 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

glab-repo-transfer — transfer a repository to a new namespace, aka pack up your whole project and move it to a different group or user. no cap, it's a real glow-up for your repo's address 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

glab repo transfer [repo] [flags]

that's the whole vibe. give it a repo (or don't, it's optional like that), throw some flags on and go 🌸

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically this moves a project to a different group or user namespace. like, your repo is transferring schools and you're the one filling out the paperwork 📋

you tell it where to go with --target-namespace. that's the destination, that's the whole point, don't skip it.

but — and this is the important part, bestie, listen — you must have permission to create projects in the target namespace. you can't just waltz into someone else's namespace and start planting repos. permission check first, slay after 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -t, --target-namespace="" — the namespace where your project should be transferred to. this is your destination address, the "new school" in the metaphor, the place your repo is gonna live 💫 (default is empty, so like… actually set it, okay?)
• -y, --yes[=false] — ⚠️ warning, warning, red alert ⚠️ this skips the confirmation prompt and forces the transfer operation through. and listen to me: transfer cannot be undone. it's not a "haha oops let me undo that" situation. it's a "welp, that's where it lives now" situation. use with intention, not with vibes 💀 (defaults to false, and honestly, keep it that way until you're sure)

---

✨ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS ✨

these come from the parent command, they're not even this page's kids, they're borrowed 🫶

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. the classic. the icon. when in doubt, -h it out 😌 (defaults to false)

---

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

here's the moment you've been waiting for, the example, the main character:

glab repo transfer profclems/glab --target-namespace notprofclems

see what's happening there? profclems/glab is the repo, and --target-namespace notprofclems is where it's headed. a true before-and-after moment ✨

---

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

fr fr, that one -y flag? respect it. transfer cannot be undone. i'm not gonna stop saying it 💅
