Adding Collaborators to the Repository

note

Even though all the repositories on Gitopia are public and accessible to everyone, not everyone has the permission to push code into your repository. Other users have a read-only access and cannot modify the repository. In order to allow other individuals to make changes to your repository, you need to add them as collaborators in your repository.

Step 1: Obtain the Wallet Address​

Ask the wallet address of the person you want as a collaborator in your repository. If they don't have a wallet yet, they can create a wallet easily by following this Guide.

Step 3: Access Collaborators Section​

Navigate to the Collaborators section of the repository settings.


Step 4: Enter the User Address and Role​

Fill the User address as shown and choose role of the collaborator.
