<p>Are you a freelance developer working on multiple projects for multiple clients, and want to manage them here on GitHub? Never fear, this guide will detail the most common solutions to this problem</p> <h2>One account, multiple collaborators</h2> <p>This design lets you retain control over the repos, but still gives your clients access to them.</p> <p>This is the simplest (and cheapest) approach. Simply create one account with a plan that provides enough private repos to cover all your projects. If your client needs access to the source code, have them create a free account. You can then add their free account as a collaborator on the projects you wish for them to have access to.</p> <p>If you wish, you can even bill your clients for the cost of your account, and maintaining their repos on it!</p> <h2>Multiple accounts, one collaborator</h2> <p>This design gives the control over the repos (and the bill) to your client, but still allows you to push into all your clients&#8217; repos from a single account.</p> <p>With this design, have your clients each open their own paid account and create empty repos for each project. Add your account to the repos as a collaborator. You can now push to their repos as if they were your own!</p> <h2>Multiple accounts, no collaborators</h2> <p>This is by far the most complicated setup, and should be avoided if at all possible. If, for whatever reason, you <strong>must</strong> push to each client&#8217;s repos using <em>their</em> account, this is the setup you will have to use. Instructions on this design are detailed in the [[Multiple GitHub Accounts]] guide.</p> 2008-08-01T15:39:55-07:00 66 managing-multiple-clients-and-their-repositories 2009-03-11T13:40:33-07:00 706
