GitHub Repository search using partial or begins-with

Question

I would like to do a code search in a collection of repositories. I would like to restrict my search using a pattern or naming convention in the repository name.

1. I can limit my search by the organization.
   Example: user:google

2. I can search a single repository directly
   Example: repo:google/devtoolsExtended test

So, is it possible to search all repositories that begin with a pattern? Equivalent to: repo:google/dev* test

Answer 1

I think you can simply search for ( in:name ) this will bring repos containing the term
