If we are building a highly customized web application, a headless architecture, or collaborating with your internal engineering team, your project's code likely lives in GitHub. To push new code, manage version control, and deploy updates, we need access to your repository.

Quick summary

Log in to GitHub, navigate to your specific repository, and click the Settings tab. Click Collaborators on the left, then click Add people. Enter the specific GitHub usernames provided by your project lead and grant them Write or Maintain access.

Step-by-step instructions

For version control platforms like GitHub, access is typically granted to specific developer accounts rather than a general support email. Your Chykalophia project lead will provide you with the exact GitHub usernames of the engineers assigned to your project.

Log in to GitHub. Sign in to github.com with an account that has Admin privileges over the repository.

Navigate to the repository. Open the specific code repository we will be working in.

Go to Settings. Click the Settings tab located near the top right of the repository menu (next to Insights).

Open Collaborators. In the left-hand sidebar under "Access," click on Collaborators. (You may be prompted to enter your password or 2FA code to confirm access to this sensitive screen).

Add people. Click the green Add people button.

Enter our usernames. Type the specific GitHub usernames provided by your project lead.

Assign the role. Select the Write or Maintain role, depending on what your project lead requested. Click Add to this repository.
