# !git.owner

The `!git.owner` Atmos YAML function returns the owner (organization or user) of the current
Git repository — for example, `cloudposse`. The value is derived from the `origin` remote URL
and works for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps.

## Usage

```yaml
  # Get the repository owner / organization.
  # If the repository cannot be resolved, it returns a default value if specified; otherwise, it returns an error.
  !git.owner <default-value>
```

## Examples

```yaml
vars:
  git_owner: !git.owner

  # With a fallback value when there is no remote.
  git_owner_safe: !git.owner my-org
```
