How can I give access to a private GitHub repository?

Question

I have a private git repository and I would like to extend its access to a member of my team. Will I be able to do it through the Github website? I have the username of my member.

I have tried to do this by going through the admin page of the repository but there isn't such an option as I am not the owner.

Answer 1

If you are the owner it is simple:

• Go to your repo and click the Settings button.
• In the left menu click Collaborators
• Then Add their name.

Then collaborator should visit this example repo link https://github.com/user/repo/invitations
