Organizations within a workspace

Organizations within a workspace

Organizations sit inside a workspace. Each organization is mapped to a collection of repos. Initially, that is the repos belonging to a GitHub user.

Relationship to workspaces

A workspace will in time support multiple organizations. That will allow one team or business area to keep related collections of repos together, while sharing workspace-level configuration.

Why group organizations together?

Keeping organizations in one workspace is useful when they share:

  • the same administrators,
  • the same hierarchy naming scheme catalogue,
  • the same reporting context,
  • or the same billing context.
