Table: github_team - Query GitHub Teams using SQL

GitHub Teams is a feature within GitHub that allows organizations to create teams, manage permissions, and simplify @mentions. Teams are groups of organization members that reflect the company or project's structure. They can be used to create nested teams, mentionable as a single unit, and provide a social graph of an organization's repo permissions.

Table Usage Guide

As a project manager or team lead, you can explore team-specific details through this table, including team ID, name, description, and privacy level. Utilize it to manage permissions, simplify @mentions, and understand the social graph of your organization's repo permissions.
