[SOLVED] Adding Repos to a team in Github

Issue

I am having trouble on using the github api to add the Repos to a team in Github Enterprise

according to GitHub API: i should call:

PUT /teams/:team_id/repos/:owner/:repo

and iam making the below call using my access token

curl -H "Authorization: token personal_access_token" https://api.github.com/teams/test-team/repos/mohit/test_data

I received the json data:

{
    "message": "Bad credentials",
    "documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3"
}

here is the link for the documentation: https://developer.github.com/v3/teams/#add-or-update-team-repository

Iam not able to add Repos to team. How to proceed with adding Repos to a team in an organization in Github Enterprise?

Solution

When making the curl command, the Authorization header should look like this:

-H "Authorization: token <PERSONALACCESSTOKEN>"

So a full curl put command would look like this:

curl -H "Authorization: token <PERSONALACCESSTOKEN>" -X PUT https://api.github.com/teams/<TEAMID>/repos/<ORGANISATION>/<REPO>

To get the team ID you can list all your Organisation teams as follows:

curl -H "Authorization: token PERSONALACCESSTOKEN" -X GET https://api.github.com/orgs/<ORGANISATION>/teams

If you are self hosting your GitHub Enterprise then replace https://api.github.com with https://<HOSTNAME>/api/v3/
