How to Add Collaborators on Github

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to grant repository access to collaborators on GitHub.

Quick summary

Adding collaborators to a GitHub repository lets you grant other users direct push access to your project. You can invite anyone by username, full name, or email through the repository's Settings panel in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Go to the repository where you want to add collaborators.
  2. Click on the Settings tab at the top right of the repository page.
  3. In the left sidebar, click on the Collaborators button.
  4. Confirm your identity by entering your GitHub password and clicking the Confirm button.
  5. Click on the Add people button.
  6. Enter the GitHub username, full name, or email of the person you want to add.
  7. Click Add — the user will receive an invitation to accept.
  8. The invitee must accept the invitation to become an active collaborator on the repository.

📌 Why this matters

Adding collaborators to a GitHub repository is a foundational step for enabling team-based software development. By granting repository access through GitHub's built-in collaborator system, project owners can control who can push code, review changes, and contribute directly — without making the repository fully public. This access management workflow is essential for open-source maintainers, development teams, and organizations that need secure, role-based collaboration on their codebase.
