How to become a collaborator to this repo

For now this is by invitation only!

  1. Create a github account for yourself
  2. Post the github account id/name to the whatsapp group
  3. Satya will add you as a collaborator to the repo

What permissions collaborators have?

  1. All usual things clone, change, update, push etc.
  2. No ability to delete repos, alter repos, or add other collaborators

Why can't I be an admin?

  1. This is a paid account
  2. But this is a personal account and not an org account
  3. Only control is being a "collaborator"

What granular control would have been available if an org account?

  1. Collaborator
  2. Maintainer
  3. Admin

How to add a collaborator (for public repos)

  1. Go to the repo in github
  2. Choose "Settings" on top menu (right)
  3. Choose "collaborators" on the left hand side
  4. It will ask for a login again (password)
  5. Locate "Manage Access"
  6. Choose button "Add People"

See below for email acceptance.

email acceptance needed

This will send an email to the github user that was added. When accepted, that user will show up as collaborator in the list. Till that time it will show as "pending invite".
