The gh org command, part of the official GitHub CLI (gh), enables users to manage GitHub organizations directly from the terminal. It supports listing organizations a user belongs to, viewing and modifying memberships, creating/deleting repositories within an org, and more. This eliminates the need for a web browser, streamlining workflows for developers and administrators.

Key subcommands include list to enumerate orgs, repo for org-level repo operations like listing or cloning all repos, and membership for handling user roles (e.g., view, add, remove). Flags like --json allow machine-readable output, --limit caps results, and --jq enables filtering. Requires GitHub CLI installation and authentication via gh auth login.

Ideal for automation in scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or daily org maintenance, it integrates seamlessly with git. Usage assumes a GitHub account with org access.

Requires GitHub CLI installed and authenticated user with org permissions. Not all subcommands support all flags; check gh org <command> --help. Rate-limited by GitHub API.

gh org list: List user's orgs.
gh org repo list <org>: List org repos.
gh org membership view <org> <user>: Check membership.

Run gh auth login first. Supports GitHub.com, Enterprise, PATs.

Introduced in GitHub CLI v0.5.0 (February 2020). Evolved with CLI releases; current features stabilized by v2.0+ (2022). Developed by GitHub to replace deprecated hub.
