There are github organizations. I checked this year and it allowed to create one for free.

There’s no hierarchy though, so that’s the problem for me. If I have 400 repos and divide them across 4 orgs with 100 each, users have to be added to all four groups, search across all four, etc.

Gitlab allows groups under the org so you can have hierarchies common in org structures.

I wish GitHub would do this with suborgs. So I can have a “Foo” org for my company and then divisions or big projects can have suborgs. So all users are members of Foo and then also members of their particular groups.

This is sort of possible with Teams and permissions but is hard UX as there’s no way to just see all the repos in a suborg.
