Remember this is github functionality - not plain old git. There are organization "owners" who can administer/push/pull any repository in that organization. Then you can create as many teams as you want with administer/push/pull permissions and you can as many teams to a repository as you want. Unfortunately teams can't have owners and repositories can't have arbitrary owners either. But you could make sure that all the core devs are in a team which is added to every module project.
So taking HTML form entry as an example, it might have the following teams: Owners (this is implicit and they have administer/push/pull access) core-devs (these guys are added to every repos with push/pull access) htmlformentry-devs (these guys have explicit push/pull access on this repos) It would be a apin managing all those teams, but it would keep the push access nicely locked down On 10 November 2011 16:50, Mark Goodrich <[email protected]> wrote: > I’m not familiar with Git yet, but I could see the pluses and minuses of > having one team versus multiple teams.
