Organization teams and shared repositories

Organizations scale collaboration

GitHub organizations provide a shared ownership model for repositories, teams and access policies. Teams allow permissions and review responsibilities to be managed around groups rather than individual accounts.

Team-based ownership

Use teams for stable responsibilities such as backend, frontend, infrastructure or documentation. CODEOWNERS can then connect file ownership to those teams.

Offboarding

When a developer leaves a project, removing organization membership or team access should automatically reduce their repository access according to the organization's configuration.
