Why can I only add nested teams to repositories on GitHub through command line

I am trying to add several teams to my repository but it gives me a Not Found (HTTP 404 error). The teams are specifically an LDAP group

Here is the basic command Line for adding teams to a repo with special permission: gh api --method PUT /orgs/eze/teams/TEAMS_NAME/repos/eze/REPO -f permission=PERMISSION Source: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/teams/teams?apiVersion=2022-11-28#add-or-update-team-repository-permissions

The source above

Interesting enough if I use a Nested teams for TEAMS_NAME then the command line works. However I don't want to do this because the child teams can only have one parent team Source:https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/organizing-members-into-teams/about-teams

Solution

  • The easiest way is to use nested teams on the command line as I mentioned in the question but then remove the parent teams. Such a simple answer but doesn't take much time at all to do
