Move-GitHubRepository

SYNOPSIS

Transfer a repository

SYNTAX

Move-GitHubRepository [[-Owner] <String>] [[-Repo] <String>] [-NewOwner] <String> [[-NewName] <String>]
 [[-TeamIds] <Int32[]>] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

A transfer request will need to be accepted by the new owner when transferring a personal repository to another user. The response will contain the original owner, and the transfer will continue asynchronously. For more details on the requirements to transfer personal and organization-owned repositories, see about repository transfers. You must use a personal access token (classic) or an OAuth token for this endpoint. An installation access token or a fine-grained personal access token cannot be used because they are only granted access to a single account.
