"Private repositories on free accounts are limited to three collaborators apiece."
So let's be clear here. If I have 10 private repos, I can have 30 collaborators? Or they must be the same three.
- jmkni 8y agoAlso, if you fork a private repo, I wonder if that’s 3 new collaborators? Could you have essentially unlimited collaborators by forking for each person and having them submit pull requests?
- nathancahill 8y agoIf all collaborators have their one copy of the repo, you no longer need GitHub, because there's no longer a centralized repo. Just use git.
- Voloskaya 8y agoThey don't have to be the same. Any "team" working on a private repo cannot be bigger than 3 collaborators.
- siminuk 8y agoHi! I work at GitHub. Private repositories on free accounts are limited to three collaborators per repository, not including the owner. So, in your example, if you have 10 private repos, you can have 30 collaborators, without counting you - the owner. (3 collaborators * 10 repos)
- sgc 8y agoAt most you could have 21? You are de facto a collaborator I would presume.
- koolba 8y ago27?
- wccrawford 8y ago10 (repos) x 2 (collaborators) + 1 (owner) ? 21.
- fernandotakai 8y agoit's 3 collaborators not including the owner.
- wccrawford 8y agoAt the time we didn't know that. This thread was counting how many people it could be assuming that the owner was counted as a collaborator.
- drakenot 8y agoI had assumed it was 3 collaborators per repo.
