GitHub/Auth/OAuth/Scope/repo

• repo

  • Official description: Grants full access to public and private repositories including read and write access to code, commit statuses, repository invitations, collaborators, deployment statuses, and repository webhooks. Also grants managing organization-owned resources (projects, invitations, team memberships, webhooks) and user-owned projects.
  • Subscopes:
    • GitHub/Auth/OAuth/Scope/repo:status
    • GitHub/Auth/OAuth/Scope/repo_deployment
    • GitHub/Auth/OAuth/Scope/public_repo
    • GitHub/Auth/OAuth/Scope/repo:invite
    • GitHub/Auth/OAuth/Scope/security_events
  • gh CLI
    • Request: gh auth refresh -h github.com -s repo (usually already present after login)
    • gh minimum: cannot remove with --remove-scopes
  • Typical triggers:
    • Default scope for most gh operations on private repositories (issues, PRs, pushes via gh-assisted auth)
    • Required baseline alongside GitHub/Auth/OAuth/Scope/read:org and GitHub/Auth/OAuth/Scope/gist for stored gh credentials
