Links every repository of the caller's org that holds no history here and names no link to github.com/<owner>/<name>, where GitHub lets the caller read it.

POST /v1/git/link

Git → · All API references → · Get started →

Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/git/link`
Method	`POST`
Operation	`post_git_link`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Links every repository of the caller's org that holds no history here and names no link to github.com/<owner>/<name>, where GitHub lets the caller read it. A repository with no such namesake is listed and left alone, and one holding history here is listed and never touched. Nothing is fetched: a linked repository's cache fills on its first read. Org admins only.

Request

1 field, body application/json (required).

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`owner`	body	string	—	Owner is the GitHub account a repository named n is looked for under, as github.com/<owner>/<n>.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`200`	git.linked	ok
`default`	problem-details	refused

200 body — 24 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`held`	body	string[]	—	Held are the repositories that hold their own history here, which a link would hide.
`linked`	body	git.repoView[]	—	Linked are the repositories it linked, each to its namesake on GitHub.
`linked[].branches`	body	string[]	—	Branches are the repo's branch names.
`linked[].cloneUrl`	body	string	—	CloneURL is the HTTPS smart-HTTP remote `git clone` takes.
`linked[].createdAt`	body	string	—	CreatedAt is RFC 3339 UTC.
`linked[].defaultBranch`	body	string	—	DefaultBranch is where HEAD points on a fresh repo ("main").
`linked[].description`	body	string	—	Description is the caller-supplied blurb (max 4KiB).
`linked[].head`	body	string	—	Head is the resolved HEAD commit, empty on an empty repo.
`linked[].id`	body	string	—	ID is the repo's stable, prefixed identifier ("repo_" + 128 random bits).
`linked[].link`	body	git.link	—
`linked[].link.cloneUrl`	body	string	—	CloneURL is the address its history is fetched from and pushed to.
`linked[].link.name`	body	string	—	Name is the repository's name on its provider.
`linked[].link.owner`	body	string	—	Owner is the account the repository belongs to on its provider.
`linked[].link.provider`	body	string	—	Provider is "github", "forge" (git.hanzo.ai, Hanzo's own), or "git" for any other host.
`linked[].name`	body	string	—	Name is the org-unique handle, and the last path segment of both URLs below.
`linked[].org`	body	string	—	Org owns the repo — the gateway-minted X-Org-Id, and the isolation key.
`linked[].project`	body	string	—	Project is the optional sub-scope the repo lives in; absent for the org's default scope.
`linked[].public`	body	boolean	—	Public grants ANONYMOUS read (fetch) only; push and the whole control plane stay org-authed.
`linked[].sizeBytes`	body	integer (int64)	—	SizeBytes is the repo's measured on-disk size, re-measured on create, after each push, and after a gc.
`linked[].sshUrl`	body	string	—	SSHURL is the scp-style SSH remote (git@host:org/repo.git).
`linked[].updatedAt`	body	string	—	UpdatedAt is RFC 3339 UTC, empty until the first write.
`unmatched`	body	git.unmatched[]	—	Unmatched are the repositories it left as they were, each with what GitHub answered: no namesake readable as the caller is never replaced by a guess.
`unmatched[].name`	body	string	—	Name is the repository.
`unmatched[].reason`	body	string	—	Reason is what GitHub answered about its namesake.

MCP reaches git through the git tool, which names its 41 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,

         "arguments": {
