Get Started

How do I get access to NJIT's Github Enterprise Cloud?
  • Faculty can request a Team in our research or academic org by submitting a form at Highlander Nexus.
    • If you use Github for research and teaching, you need to request access to both orgs. An account on one org does not grant access to the other org.
    • Once your request has been approved, you will receive a invite to join the org.
    • If you have requested accounts for students, then the students will also receive an invite.
    • After you have accepted the invite, you will be promoted to Team Maintainer to enable you to create sub teams and add existing organization members as collaborators.
    • Github Invitations expire after 7 days. If an invite is not accepted before it expires, please fill out the form again.
  • If you are a student or researcher, your research/faculty advisor can add you to their Team. Please ask your advisor to request a Team in our org if they do not have one.
  • You need to have a Github personal account with your NJIT email as a primary or alternate email.
  • Your team name will be your FirstName LastName so that we can identify the team owner. If you want a different name, please feel free to create a sub-team with your preferred name and add collobarator to the sub-team rather than your top level team.
  • Requests to create a top level team with a different name will be denied.
How do I give access to NJIT's Github Enterprise Cloud to an external collaborator?
  • External Collaborators cannot be given access to NJIT's Github Enterprise Cloud.
  • However, external collaborators can be given access to repositories in the Research Org only. Note that access has to be given on each repository that you want to collaborate with externally.
  • The Academics Org, for course use, is internal to NJIT only and cannot be shared with external collaborators.
