This page describes how to apply for groups in git.nrw.

Groups can be used to map and organize teams in git.nrw. Through top-level and sub-level groups, organizational structures can be separated from each other. A top-level group is intended for the highest administrative unit:

Further advantages of groups:

• The quota of 10 personal projects does not apply to groups.
• Projects within the group are accessible to all members of this group, an invitation process is not necessary.

Applying for groups

• Applying for a top-level group

Applying for a top-level group

You can apply for a top-level group via the git.nrw support form.

Please provide the following information:

• At least two owners for the top-level group. These users must already have an account in git.nrw. The following dat are required:
  • Name
  • E-mail address 
• A name of the top-level group:
  • Please use the RWTH-„Einrichtung“ prefix, e.g.. „RWTH - IT Center“.

Inter-institutional groups (e.g. for special research areas) can also be set up on request.

Applying for a sub-level group

Please contact the owner of the respective top-level group to apply for a sub-level group.

The respective organization is responsible for the arrangement of sub-level groups.

We do not advise to create projects within a top-level group!
