Create GitOrg

One Student on the team needs to do this.

📌 At the top right of GitHub choose New Organization.

📌 Choose the free open source subscription and enter a billing email. You will not be billed for a free account.

📌 Skip inviting members, we'll do that later.

📌 Scroll to the bottom and skip this step

Create Repositories

📌 Create a repository for all areas that apply to your project. Name them with the titles in the bullet points.

• Marketing page
• Front end
• Backend
• Data science

📌 Make it public, initialize with a README, and add an MIT license for each repository.

Setup Branch Permissions

This needs to be done in every repo in your organization.

📌 Go to settings -> branches -> add rule.

📌 Set the branch name pattern to master and check the box to require pull request reviews before merging.

Invite your team members

📌 Go to people -> invite member. Invite a team member with their GitHub handle.

📌 Switch the role from member to owner
