Curious why they decided to create a separate GitHub user for the project instead of using an organization.

- IanCal 12y agoI'm not sure why they did that, but I really wish I had multiple github accounts rather than one. When integrating with external services (like a CI server) things will request read or write access to "public" or "private" repos. There's no distinction between my repos and my organisations repos. I might be happy allowing access to my personal ones, but I cannot just give access to my companies repos. Even if I wanted to for single repos, I can't justify allowing access to them all. The permissions model of github is far too coarse.
- michaelmior 12y agoAgreed with those complaints. However, as a workaround, I find a lot of the time you can just add the web hook manually for a service to a repo manually and things work just fine.
