This is a known issue for the Linux build:

I cannot access repositories under my organization

The GitHub Desktop application is an OAuth application, but this fork does not
have the same permissions as the app does on Windows and macOS, which manifests
in a couple of different ways:

  • the "Clone a Repository" view does not show all organization repositories
  • pushes to a repository owned by an organization may be rejected with a
    generic error message

The root cause of this is organizations by default will have "OAuth App access
restrictions" enabled, which blocks the GitHub Desktop development app that is
used by this fork.

Workaround: ask your organization admin to approve access
to the GitHub Desktop development app.

Oh, I thought I deleted this issue. As you see, it's not complete. 😄

I will ask my organization for that.
Thank for helping!
