What are some good rules to follow when handling people who want to collaborate on a project that is on your personal repo?
It looks like GitHub doesn’t allow fine control of permissions unless it is an organization repo. I looked around and a lot of other projects (specifically browser extensions) still live on the main dev’s account. I don’t have any reason to doubt the people who want to help, but it might be nice to know what the best practices are.
Should I add everyone as a collaborator? This runs into the issue above where I can’t limit permissions.
Should everyone push contributions from their forks? In that case, how would people work together on a particular feature.
When opening a PR across forks there is an option to allow folks from the target repo to edit the branch. I don’t know exactly what it allows but it should allow committing at least.
Neat. I’ll check that out! Thanks!
Just fork any repo and make a random change and begin to open a PR. You don’t have to actually open one to see the option.
