Add a collaborator to your project.

Working with others is one of the best things about GitHub because it easier to work from any place or timezone with someone else.

Collaborators are other GitHub users who are given permission to make edits to a repository owned by someone else. You may also hear the term contributors, this describes another GitHub user who have made contributions, through a Fork and Pull Request, to a project.

Hello, Repo Robot!

To add collaborators to one of your projects, visit the repository's page on your GitHub account and click the 'Settings' tab in the menu in the upper part of the page. Then select the 'Collaborators' option. Type the username into the text box add and click 'Add'.

Go to your forked Patchwork repository's page on GitHub and add 'reporobot' as a collaborator. The URL should look like this, but with your username.
