Add collaborator to GitHub repository


Don’t let them clone the public url: It doesn’t go over ssh and I don’t know how to change the origin url in a branch. *

Steps:

  1. create ssh-key on new collaborators computer (ssh-keygen)
  2. create github user
  3. add public-key to github user account
  4. let the project owner add you as project member
  5. git clone git@…

Where 1 < 3, 1 < 2 < 4, 2 < 5 if that means anything to you ;-)

* it works with git remote

    simply edit .git/config and you can find all URLs there, easily editable :)
