I created a GitHub account, and I want to give someone write access so he can push just like me, there is a way to add a collaborator with a free plan? If not, what can I do? (besides buying a paid account, which I'll do in the future)
This question is related to
git
version-control
github
Please note that Github now allows an unlimited number of collaborators even on a free account. See https://github.com/pricing.
FYI for future readers. The instructions above are outdated, in particular step 2:
2. Click on Settings button
Go to Manage Access
page under settings (https://github.com/user/repo/settings/access) and add the collaborators as needed.
Screenshot:
In the repository, click Admin
, then go to the Collaborators
tab.
Yes the set of instructions above are outdated. For the new GitHub the Settings button must be clicked.
Also the person you try to add as a collaborator must have an existing GitHub account. In other words he should have signed up on GitHub first because it is not possible to send collaboration requests merely by typing in the email address of the collaborator.
It is pretty easy to add a collaborator to a free plan.
The added user should now be able to push to your repository on GitHub.
It's called Manage access now.
Go to your private repo, click the Settings tab, and choose Manage access from the menu on the left. You are allowed up to three collaborators with the free plan.
Note: If the account is an individual account you can still add collaborators that can do a variety of tasks, but a collaborator can't (as far as I know) sign the app in Xcode and submit it to the app store. You need an organization account for that kind of collaborator.
