RT requests for a new repository creation need to be clear on which GitHub organization should be created under.
The process should be as follow:
- There is no further TSC approval needed, so we can proceed as long as we have all the information
- Identify which Github organization should the repository be created under. (Most times requestor makes this clear)
- Make sure there is information on who the contributors will be for these new repository.
- Branch permissions and General Settings should be also set same way as other existing projects within the organization, unless otherwise mentioned in the request.
Step-by-step guide
- In the upper-right corner of requested organization's page, click + , and then click New repository.
- Please enter the name of the repository as requested in the request. For example, "hello-world".
- Optionally, add a description of your repository. For example, "My first repository on GitHub."
- Choose to make the repository either public or private. Public repositories are visible to the public, while private repositories are only accessible to you, and people you share them with.
- Select Initialize this repository with a README.
- Click Create repository.
