Say I have an organization on GitHub called ORG and a team comprising of all members in the org called TEAM_ORG.
I would like any number of repositories that I ever create under the ORG GitHub account, to be associated with TEAM_ORG automatically, such that the team members can read/write to it.
Is there a way to do so?
(I think the API could be used to build something – https://developer.github.com/v3/orgs/teams/#add-team-repo, but someone already solved this out there somewhere?) 🙂
Nowadays, GitHub supports archiving repositories.
Archiving repositories
You can archive a repository to make it read-only for all users and indicate that it's no longer actively maintained. You can also unarchive repositories that have been archived.
...
- On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.
Under your repository name, click âš™ Settings.
Under "Danger Zone", click Archive this repository or Unarchive this repository.
- Read the warnings.
Type the name of the repository you want to archive or unarchive.
- Click I understand the consequences, archive this repository.

Go to Github.com logged in or directly to your profile-page:

On both these pages there are filter-buttons for "Forks".

GitHub's repo creation page walks through examples of using the API to automatically assign repos to org on creation:
https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#create
Also, be sure to doublecheck permission settings on the organization members. By default, all organization members can create repositories for the organization. However, this can be overridden and repository creation permissions can be restricted to organization owners only. See "Repository permission levels for an organization."
