Overview

This node operation fetches repositories for a specified GitHub organization. It allows users to specify the organization owner and supports returning either all repositories or a limited number based on user input. This is useful for scenarios where you want to automate the retrieval of repository data from an organization, such as for reporting, monitoring, or integration with other tools.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve all repositories of the 'n8n-io' organization to monitor project activity.
2. Fetch a limited number of repositories from a specific organization for display in a dashboard.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'Repository Owner' input is valid and correctly formatted as a GitHub organization name or URL.
• If the node returns an authentication error, verify that the GitHub App credentials are correctly configured and have the necessary permissions to access the organization's repositories.
• When 'Return All' is set to false, ensure the 'Limit' value is within the allowed range (1-100).
• If the node fails with a 404 error, check that the specified organization exists and the authenticated GitHub App has access to it.
