# kosli get repo

> Get a repo for an org.

## Synopsis

```shell theme={"theme":"dracula","languages":{"custom":["/languages/rego.json"]}}
kosli get repo [REPO-NAME] [flags]
```

Get a repo for an org.
The repo is identified either by its name, specified as an argument
(e.g. "my-org/my-repo"), or unambiguously by its internal ID via --repo-id.
The output includes the repo's internal ID, which is the identifier used
to tag the repo (see: kosli tag).
Use --provider to disambiguate when multiple repos share the same name
across VCS providers.
