Github Team

The easiest way to manage people’s access to the code in your repository is to set up a Github team. Teams SHOULD own repositories rather than individuals to make the continuous management of the repository go smoothly. To add a team, from your Github organization (for example, Sage-Bionetworks), click on the “Teams” tab and you will see a “New Team” button.

Who should be in a team? The following are common bases for creating teams, and which one suits you depends on your situation: * The people on an organizational team * The collaborators on a particular project * People across the organization who have expertise in a certain area

After creating the team, or choosing an existing one, you can grant it access by adding the team in the repository settings. You can add teams or people under Settings > Collaborators and Teams. It’s RECOMMENDED to have at least one team that serves as the administrators of the repository; optionally you can add other contributors with more restricted levels of access.
