Use Octokit to retrieve private repositories from organizations

I'm trying to retrieve all repositories from a certain user's organization using the Octokit gem for ruby.

I have this client variable:

@client = Octokit::Client.new(access_token: TOKEN)

And when I use this:

@client.repos

I'm able to retrieve all repositories of the user (EVEN THE PRIVATE ONES FROM THE ORGANIZATIONS)

But with this

@client.repos(some_org_id)

I'm only getting the public ones from the some_org_id organization.

My OAuth token scope is set with the permissions: 

repo, user, read:org

Am I missing something here? The API Documentaion mentions that the default value of repos privacy is all.

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • Ok, I was able to get the private repos doing the following:

    @client.org_repos(some_repo_id)

    I hope it helps someone.
