Adding a collaborator to my free GitHub account

Question

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

User · Answer

It is pretty easy to add a collaborator to a free plan.

Navigate to the repository on Github you wish to share with your collaborator.
Click on the "Settings" tab on the right side of the menu at the top of the screen.
On the new page, click the "Collaborators" menu item on the left side of the page.
Start typing the new collaborator's GitHub username into the text box.
Select the GitHub user from the list that appears below the text box.
Click the "Add" button.

The added user should now be able to push to your repository on GitHub.

2020 update  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

Yes the set of instructions above are outdated  For the new GitHub the Settings button must be clicked   Also the person you try to add as a collaborator must have an existing GitHub account  In other words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

Please note that Github now allows an unlimited number of collaborators even on a free account  See https   github com pricing
