Collaborators

Part of what makes working on GitHub so effective is how easy it is to collaborate. If you want to give others the permission to work in your repository, you can add them as collaborators.

Things to watch out for

Whether your repository is public or private, inviting someone as a collaborator will give them push access to your repository. That means that they'll be able to make changes to the code. Depending on whether or not you have protected branches enabled, they may even be able to change the history on the master branch! Before inviting collaborators, make sure they are people you trust with your code.

⌨️ Activity: Inviting Collaborators

1. Ask for the username of the person you're inviting as a collaborator. If they don't have a username yet, they can sign up for GitHub.
2. Click on the Settings tab for this repository.
3. In the left sidebar, click Collaborators & Teams.
4. Under "Collaborators", start typing the collaborator's username.
5. Select the collaborator's username from the drop-down menu.
6. Click Add collaborator.
7. The user will receive an email inviting them to the repository. Once they accept your invitation, they will have collaborator access to your repository.
