 chainctl guardener github unlink Unlink a GitHub organization from its Chainguard group.
Synopsis Unlink a GitHub organization from its Chainguard group.
If –group is set, this first tries your Chainguard credentials: if you hold guardener.association.manage on the group, the org is unlinked with no browser involved. Otherwise (or if those credentials are insufficient) it falls back to the GitHub authorization flow, which proves you own the organization. Either way you must be logged in to Chainguard; the GitHub flow just needs no access to the group.
