Get-GitHubRepository doesnt show private repository.

[Alex-0293]

Hello,
I want to get all my repository.
Get-GitHubRepository -Visibility All -Type All -OwnerName "Alex-0293"
This show only public repository, instead of all.
But i can see my private repository with
Get-GitHubRepository -Visibility All -Type All -OwnerName "Alex-0293" -RepositoryName "GitProjectClone".

You want to call:

Get-GitHubRepository -Visibility All

(without OwnerName). Per the API documentation, the only API where you can specify Visibility is for the current authenticated user (thus, you don't specify UserName). Additionally, if you use that API, you can't specify both Visibility and Type in the same request. Doing so will result in a 422.

Looks like Get-GitHubRepository needs to be cleaned up a bit (either with better ParameterSets or internal error checking) to prevent usage like yours above.

Thanks for calling attention to this.

To be clear, when you called the API like this: Get-GitHubRepository -Visibility All -Type All -OwnerName "Alex-0293", you were actually calling this API which can only display public repositories. You can verify this for yourself by either looking at your PowerShellForGitHub.log file, or by calling it again and specifying -Verbose as part of the request.

Thank you for answer.
May be i dont understand, but i have the same results.
Get-GitHubRepository -Visibility All -verbose

My guess is you configured a default owner name.
What does this return:
Get-GitHubConfiguration -Name DefaultOwnerName?
If you configured that, then it's pre-filling in OwnerName, and thus it has the same result.

Thank you!
You are absolutely right.
Now its work as expected.

[HowardWolosky]

Leaving this open, because the function should not have permitted that combination of parameters without an error. Should have a fix out soon.

@jbostoen - You posted an additional comment to this Issue this morning, reporting that the problem wasn't resolved for you, but then you deleted the comment. Presumably you figured out the problem. However, it would be helpful to keep that in here in case others come across the same problem and want to know what the solution was.

This was your original comment:

Using v15.0.1 of this module; calling
Get-GitHubRepository -Visibility All
Still only shows my public repositories and not the private ones.
What am I missing? Is configuration required?
I tried adding default owner name; which seems to be correct if I try Get-GitHubConfiguration -Name DefaultOwnerName

Configuration is not required. In fact, even if you were to specify a default owner name, it would not be used.
You can't query for private repositories of other users. By the very nature of them being private, you can only query for them if they are yours. That's why the Visibility parameter for Get-GitHubRepository doesn't work when a UserName has been specified... It's a parameter that only works against the current authenticated user account.

So, while configuration isn't required, authentication is. If it wasn't working for you, it's most likely because you had not yet authenticated with GitHub via Set-GitHubAuthentication.

Sorry for the inconvenience, it turned out not all privileges were linked to the access token.
