Step 5: Project settings
In your repository, you will see a Settings tab on the right-hand side of the navigation, after Code, Issues, Pull Requests, and other categories. I've opened a milestone to track each of the settings issues.
Project visibility
Repositories can be "owned" by individual user accounts or by organization accounts. If this repository is currently under your own user account but you'd like it to be owned by your organization, don't worry. You can change repository ownership.
Repositories can also be private or public.
A private repository can only be seen by those who are collaborators, administrators, or owners. Permission has to be explicitly granted.
A public repository has code, issues, and pull requests that can be seen by anyone on the internet. Public repositories should always have licenses, so it's clear if others are able to use the project or code in any way. Just because a repository is public doesn't mean that anyone can make changes, though - only collaborators, administrators, or owners can do that.
Add collaborators
If you want to give others permission to edit the code in your repository, you will need to add them as collaborators. In the Settings tab of your repository, find the Collaborators tab on the left navigation. Then, you can invite others to your repository.
Protected branches
Protected branches ensure that collaborators on your repository cannot make irrevocable changes to branches. These branches can also be protected by requiring pull requests to have at least one approved review before they can be merged.
If you want to know more about protected branches, check out this documentation.
Integrations/services
Integrations are tools and services that connect with GitHub to complement and extend your workflow.
Integrations can be GitHub Apps, OAuth Apps, or anything that utilizes GitHub APIs or webhooks. For more information, see "About integrations" in the GitHub Developer documentation.
You can find an integration to install or publish your own integration in GitHub Marketplace and Works with GitHub.
All done?
When you're done, close this issue. I'll open new issues in this repository with your next instructions.
