In the past, the Github was managed ad-hoc by anyone involved in Outreach. Going forward, we would like to gain a bit more control and bring some order to it, so that it is easy to use for all future Outreachers.
Anyone can create a repository, but access to other people's repositories is restricted unless they give you permission. Coordinators (see below) can be given access to any repository by Owners (see below).
Everyone has write access to the special repositories, subject to certain restrictions. Please read the special repositories section below.
We would like to use the following structure:
| Item | Role | Team | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group | Owner | (Per-user permission) | Caroline, Outreach Teaching Assistant(s) (past, present and future) |
| Group | Admin | Coordinators | Caroline, Outreach Teaching Assistant(s) (past, present and future), Anyone with special permission |
| Group | Member | Contributors | All other outreach workers |
| Repo | Admin/Owner | (Per repo collaborators) | The person who created the repository / created the content of the repo |
| Repo | Contributor | (Per repo collaborators) | People helping to add content to a repo should be given Write access. Possibly with a restriction on the Master branch. |
There are four special repositories that everyone has write access to except the master branch, which requires an approved pull request with no requested changes and a member of the Coordinators team to merge. These special repos are:
- Coordination (This repo)
- LaTeX-Worksheet-Templates
- Web-Tutorial-Template
- Worksheet-PDFs
These are special repos because they are integral to the smooth running of the Outreach programme.
