I had the same issue and found a workaround:
- Go to GitHub Personal Access Tokens and create a "Fine-grained personal access token." Select your organization and grant permission to access the content.
- You will receive a token in the format "github_pat_...". Copy this token immediately, as you won’t be able to see it again.
- Clone the repository using your terminal.
- Open the ./.git/config file in your cloned repository.
- Update the relevant line to match the following pattern:
[remote "origin"]
url = https://[email protected]/your-repo
- In your GitHub-Desktop go to File > Add Local Repository.
Now it should work.
i'm experiencing the same issue but with an organization's repositories that i don't own but am a member of. on web i can access all files fine, but in the app the repos don't show up. i contacted the organization's owner to give me admin permissions to check if it was a perms issue and that didn't change it either. cloning from the url doesn't work as well, it acts like i can't access it. i'm on linux mint as well using the flatpak version of the port.
