HOW TO USE IT

When you need to list organizations configured for Buildkite CLI, run `bk org list`; JSON is the default, and each organization has a `selected` value indicating whether it is active.

WHY THIS HELPS

List the organizations available to the current Buildkite CLI configuration.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

• Version: v3.17.0
• org: Alias for the `organization` command group.
• -o, --output: Select `json`, `yaml`, or `text` output format; JSON is the default.
• selected: Boolean indicating whether the organization is selected in the current CLI configuration.
• Prerequisite: Install and configure the Buildkite CLI with an API access token and an organization. The command lists configured organizations.
• Docs conflict: Current CLI reference documents `bk organization list`; the v3.17.0 source confirms `org` as an alias. Current configuration docs describe `bk auth switch` as replacing deprecated `bk use`, while the v3.17.0 release note names `use`.
