List My Repositories

Every repository the token can see, newest activity first if you ask for it.

Action referenceRead

What this action does #

First, connect GitHub in Services. Then open Actions → + → GitHub and choose List My Repositories.

More about this action

Lists repositories for the account the token belongs to — owned, collaborated on, and through organisation membership.

A fine-grained token only ever lists the repositories it was granted at creation time, so a short list usually means a narrow token rather than a small account.

Type cannot be combined with Visibility or Affiliation; sending both is a 422. Use one or the other.

Inputs to fill in #

Open an input to choose its value. Keep a fixed value with Text, receive it from Shortcuts, ask when the action runs, or use an Earlier Step. Read how input sources work.

Visibility

OptionalChoice

Defaults to all.

Choices: all, public, private

Default: all

Affiliation

OptionalList

Any of owner, collaborator, organization_member. Defaults to all three.

A list of text values. Use a comma-separated list.

Example value (replace with your own):

owner

Type

OptionalChoice

Mutually exclusive with Visibility and Affiliation.

Choices: all, owner, public, private, member

Choices: created, updated, pushed, full_name

Starts at 1. Bind this to a Shortcuts slot if you want to page from a Repeat loop rather than fetching several pages in one go.

Run it from Shortcuts #

Give the action a recognizable name and tap Save.
In Apple Shortcuts, add Shortcutify’s Execute Action and select the saved action.
Supply any Param or File slots you bound in the inputs, then run the shortcut.

If the result is unexpected, open Logs in Shortcutify, select the run, and inspect this step’s inputs and response.

This action supports multiple pages of results. Open its Fetch setting to retrieve more pages when one page is not enough. Each page adds a service request.
