I am involved in a project on GitHub that is not mine. Nevertheless, my team added me to the project as author.

On Careers 2.0, I am only able to add project I created (so within my "namespace"), or project of other I forked.

I don't know how far you track users and their project, but I think it could be fair to be able to link on a team project where the user is the author but not the owner.

    Do you get an error message? Or what happens when you try to do this?

  • No it is just not in the list of "addable" project.

  • Can you send me a link to the project? We do support Github organizations.

  • @Matt the project is here. github.com/prologin/prolojail But I'm not sure the account is an "organisation" account. Pretty much like StackExchange scripts of @Rebecca github.com/rchern/StackExchangeScripts . Multiple people are able to commit and push on the project, but @Rebecca owns the repository.

    Thanks. The Github API (v2) is surprisingly roundabout for this sort of thing. We’ll investigate v3…

  • It should even be possible to add projects where you don’t have any commit rights at all – you might have made substantial contributions anyway. Unfortunately, the manual adding mode does not help either.

The short answer is that we haven't figured out a good way to do this with the GitHub API. It's a common request, and we'll announce if/when we figure it out.

Update: You can now add projects from your organization if you are a public member (see setting your organization membership to public - it's private by default). You need to have made at least one commit to the repo for the project to be visible on your profile.

    can't one rely (at least in part) on the goodwill of people that will edit their resumé and let them manually add the appropriate repositories?

I had a similar problem and fixed it by making sure I was a public member of the organization. By default membership is private.
