  • setting the profile picture of an organization or a social media preview for a repository #119
  • manage default repository labels on organization level
  • manage custom properties
  • organization rulesets (only rulesets on repo level are supported atm)
  • secrets and variables for codespaces and dependabot
  • managing GitHub apps or oauth policies
  • managing pinned repositories for an organization
  • enabling private vulnerability reporting #27
  • tag protections #143
  • supporting merge queue settings for a branch protection rule #86
  • transfer a repo from one organization to another organization

Most of the unsupported settings are only accessible via the Web UI of GitHub. In case you would like to have a specific feature of GitHub being supported by otterdog, please open a ticket at.
