Group Leader Instructions
This section covers how the group leader will acquire their own version of the repository (project files for the ASB Tutorial) and then invite their group members (collaborators) to the project. Only one person per group needs to do this.
A fork is a copy of a repository. Forking allows you to have a copy associated with your account and make changes freely without affecting the original repository. It's actually a neat way to collaborate on open-source projects that you don't own and you can find more information about forking a repository here.
- Click on the "Fork" button on the top right of the page:
After the repository is done being copied, you'll see that the repository is now listed as one of your own, with an indication that it originally belongs to alcantarar:
Next, add your group members to the project. As the leader, across the top you'll have an extra button called "Settings". Click this, then Manage Access, then add collaborators. You can then add your group members by Github username. Additional help can be found here.
Now everyone should be able to see and edit the repository!
