Create a policy gate binding.
Create a binding to activate a policy for an organization. If the policy is already enabled with the same mode, this is a no-op. To change the mode of an existing binding, pass –mode explicitly.
The –mode flag controls enforcement behavior: ENFORCE Blocks image pulls that violate the policy. DRY_RUN Records violations without blocking pulls.
The default mode is DRY_RUN. Binding to an organization applies the policy to all repos within it.
