Creating an Organization
2:15When you have a group of people working together and you need multiple resources, your best course of action is to create a GitHub Organization.
[SOUND] Up until now, we've been
using Github as ourself, as a user.
0:00
However, sometimes you might wanna use
Github with other people that you work
0:08
closely with.
0:12
This could be your employer,
an open source organization, or
0:13
a personal project you're working on.
0:16
When you have a group of
people working together and
0:18
you need multiple repositories you
probably need a GitHub Organization.
0:20
A GitHub organization lets you manage and
organize group-owned repositories.
0:25
Here is an example.
0:29
Say you already have a GitHub account.
0:31
We'll use mine for example.
0:33
You've been working on personal projects
and contributing to Open Source.
0:35
Then you get a job at Acme, Inc.
0:39
Acme, Inc is using a GitHub Organization
to manage their repositories.
0:42
Acme, Inc can invite you to
collaborate on the repositories it'd
0:46
like you to have access to without
giving you access to everything.
0:50
You can be a member of a bunch
of different organizations, but
0:54
you'll only ever have
your one user account.
0:57
>> Let's create an organization of
our own to learn how to use GitHub as
1:01
part of a group.
1:04
At the top of your screen, click the Plus
icon and then choose New Organization.
1:05
Now let's give our organization a name.
1:11
I'll call mine KDaygel inc., but
you can call yours whatever you'd like.
1:13
Most organizations just
use their company name.
1:18
Your organization will get
a profile just like your user does.
1:21
Your organization profile
can be a great way for
1:25
a company to share its open source
projects in a single place.
1:27
We'll be using your organization
through the rest of this stage.
1:30
So make sure to pick
a name that's memorable.
1:33
Fill out your name and
then enter your email address.
1:36
And then click Create organization
at the bottom of the page.
1:42
We'll only be using public repositories,
so
1:47
creating this organization
won't cost you anything.
1:49
Normally though, when working in
an organization, you'd be using private
1:52
repositories to keep your code private,
and there is cost associated with that.
1:55
Let's skip the step to invite
people in your new organization,
2:00
because we'll be doing that later.
2:03
Great, you're the owner of
a brand new GitHub organization.
2:06
In the next video, we'll start using one
organization specific feature, teams.
