List your repositories

List repositories for the authenticated user.

Note that this currently does not include repositories owned by organizations which the user can access. You can list your organizations and list organization repositories separately.

With the new Organization Permissions API (described below), this will include repositories owned by organizations which the user can access. If you provide the custom media type (described below), you won’t need to use other APIs to list the authenticated user’s organization-owned repositories.

We're currently offering a migration period allowing applications to opt in to the Organization Permissions API. This functionality will apply to all API consumers beginning February 24, 2015. Please see the blog post for full details.

To access the API during the migration period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:
