NAME¶

gh-repo-edit - Edit repository settings

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

To toggle a setting off, use the --<flag>=false syntax.

Changing repository visibility can have unexpected consequences including but not limited to:

• Losing stars and watchers, affecting repository ranking
• Detaching public forks from the network
• Disabling push rulesets
• Allowing access to GitHub Actions history and logs
