Maintaining ownership continuity of your personal account's repositories

You can invite someone to manage your user owned repositories if you are not able to.

Inviting a successor

The person you invite to be your successor must have a GitHub account.

  1. Klicke in der oberen rechten Ecke einer Seite auf GitHub auf dein Profilbild und dann auf Settings.

  2. Klicke in der linken Randleiste auf Account.

  3. Under "Successor settings", to invite a successor, begin typing a username, full name, or email address, then click their name when it appears.

    Screenshot of the "Successor settings" section. The string "octocat" is entered in a search field, and Octocat's profile is listed in a dropdown.

  4. Click Add successor.

  5. Wenn du dazu aufgefordert wirst, bestätige den Zugriff auf dein Konto auf GitHub. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter Sudo-Modus.

The user you've invited will be listed as "Pending" until they agree to become your successor.
