gh-repo: List repositories owned by a specific user or organization (if the owner is not set, the default owner will be the currently logged in user).
$ gh repo list ${owner}
try on your machine

The command "gh repo list ${owner}" is a command-line command that is used in the GitHub CLI (command-line interface) tool.

Here's an explanation of each element of the command:

  • "gh": It is the command for the GitHub CLI tool. It allows you to interact with GitHub from the command-line.
  • "repo list": It is a subcommand of "gh", which specifically deals with listing repositories in the logged-in GitHub account or organization.
  • "${owner}": It is a placeholder that denotes the owner/username of the GitHub account or organization for which you want to list the repositories. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual GitHub account or organization name you are interested in.

When you execute this command by replacing "${owner}" with the desired owner, the GitHub CLI will query the GitHub API to retrieve a list of repositories owned by that particular user or organization. The result will include information such as the repository name, description, visibility, and other relevant details.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
