## chainctl guardener github unlink

Unlink a GitHub organization from its Chainguard group.

### Synopsis

Unlink a GitHub organization from its Chainguard group.

If --parent 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.

```
chainctl guardener github unlink [flags]
```

### Options

```
      --github-org string   GitHub account login to unlink (an organization, or your own user).
      --parent string       Name or UIDP of the Chainguard group; enables unlinking with your Chainguard credentials (no browser).
      --port int            Local loopback port for the GitHub OAuth callback. (default 8989)
