We are migrating from Eclipse to Webstorm and found a limitation where the "Share Project on GitHub" in Webstorm only supports personal repositories. Sharing to organization accounts is not currently supported. JetBrains recommends creating the repository in the organization manually and then adding it as a remote using Git > Manage Remotes. While this is an adequate solution I am curious how other companies are managing the creation of new projects in Webstorm and the associated version control for teams. I'm guessing a lot of people are probably using the command line, but our preference is to stick to the GUI.

We use Azure DevOps for git - so for us we create AzureDO project and a repo gets created automatically during that process. Then we just need to clone that repo with webstorm UI tools. We also boostrap that repo with our standard webstorm template project files, which include our preferred layout and content for SDF.

@Josh I assume the only workaround for this would be to connect your remote using a CLI. After you open/create a project locally using WebStorm, just drop this into your terminal:
git remote add origin {URL of your remote repo}
Git should then have you validate your credentials to Azure DevOps. Once your remote is connected, you will be allowed to use the GUI tools through Webstorm.

Thanks all for your feedback. I think we will try @Josh Godfrey suggestion as it's only a very slight deviation from the process we had hoped to follow.
