FAQ

Questions about List Repositories.

What does the List Repositories action do in GitHub?

Lists repositories for the authenticated user or a specific organization. Used to populate a repo picker before any cross-repo automation.

What inputs does List Repositories require?

List Repositories has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if GitHub returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does List Repositories support batch operations?

Yes. Run List Repositories inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles GitHub's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
