              • adding repository and environment secrets

              unset the current default repository

       -v, --view
              view the current default repository

EXAMPLE

       Interactively select a default repository:
       $ gh repo set-default

       Set a repository explicitly:
       $ gh repo set-default owner/repo

       View the current default repository:
       $ gh repo set-default --view
