| **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.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo git link
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, GitApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new GitApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postGitLink({ owner: "<owner>" });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import GitApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = GitApi(client).post_git_link(owner="<owner>")
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.GitAPI.PostGitLink(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, git_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = git_api::post_git_link(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.GitApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new GitApi(client).postGitLink();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/git/link \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "owner": "<owner>"
     }'
```

**MCP**

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:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "get_git_activity"
         }
       }
     }'
```
