Exploring the User and Repository Settings

In this chapter, we will explore the most important settings for both a user and a repository. There are many things you can do to personalize your experience in GitHub and many settings you can change in order to follow a specific workflow with your fellow teammates.

As a user, there is a lot of information you can set up on your user settings page, such as associating more than one email with your account, adding multiple SSH keys, and setting up two-factor authentication.

Similarly, some functionalities of a repository can be set up via its settings page. For example, you can enable or disable the wiki pages, or completely disable the issue tracker.

In this chapter we will cover the following:

  • User settings
  • Repository settings
  • Tips and tricks
