Support for 香港六合彩中特网 researchers to use GitHub

How we can help 香港六合彩中特网 researchers to access the services of GitHub, the world-leading service provider of source code management and software development collaboration tools.

For step by step instruction see our user guide:

Service description

This is a Gateway Service provided by ARC: GitHub provides the service, which ARC offers to researchers 鈥渁s is鈥. ARC provides local training, support, and advice, and absorbs costs for use of the service.

  • GitHub provides:
    • version control
    • issue tracking
    • code hosting
    • hosting documentation and pages about your project
  • 香港六合彩中特网 ARC provides
    • Local support, advice, and training for users in access to and use of GitHub's services.
    • Payment of costs for private GitHub repositories on the聽.听

Public and private repositories

Public repositories

Groups wishing to create public, open source repositories are encouraged to do so in their own organisation accounts at will. Read the guide "How to setup GitHub for a research project".

Such groups may contact us for training and help with using GitHub. Support is limited by our availability and is provided on a best-efforts basis.

Private repositories

Researchers wishing to create private, password-protected repositories have two options.

Non-profit research

Research groups can聽create organisations聽hosting up to twenty free private repositories for their group. These are only available for non-profit research.

Other research

If groups do not qualify for free private repositories, or exceed their limit of 20 free private repositories, they qualify for access to the centrally funded 香港六合彩中特网 account, where private repositories are paid for by 香港六合彩中特网. Please follow聽our聽instructions for how聽to access this service.

Access to repositories is managed using teams of one or more members with read, write or admin access to specific repositories. These teams should have one or more maintainers with the rights to add or remove users from the team. If your existing team does not have a maintainer please mail聽ARC.Collaborations@ucl.ac.uk聽with聽maintainer聽information. As soon as the team has a maintainer, that maintainer may promote other members of the team to maintainer level.听Maintainers with admin rights are free to create new teams with more restricted access to the same repositories giving others read or write access to the repository in question.

Note that users cannot give new users who are聽not already in the 香港六合彩中特网 Github organisation聽access to the organisation. Please mail聽ARC.Collaborations@ucl.ac.uk聽to have users added to the organisation. Access to private repositories for non-香港六合彩中特网 members聽.

The 香港六合彩中特网 Organisation on Github uses the "new" Github permission model. For more detailed information about permissions see the聽.

Excluded:

While we have sourced, and recommend, this third-party product, 香港六合彩中特网 ARC does not provide any guarantees about GitHub.

  • ARC does not offer support with legal or contractual issues associated with use of the service.

  • The service is not suitable for hosting data other than software source code and research paper textual drafts.

Conditions of use

Local organisational accounts

Users who create their own public repositories in their own accounts may do so at will, without reference to our service or support.

Private repositories

  • Ensuring that only source code, not data, is stored in GitHub;
  • The security of their means of access to GitHub;
