GitTree account and teams manual
Organizations
Bring your team together: create an organization, invite people, give them the right role and keep membership tidy.
Create an organization
An organization brings your team together: you become its owner and can invite people right away. Creating organizations comes with GitTree Pro or a running trial. Give it an Organization name (2 to 64 characters) and a unique Short name of lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens.
ProFind and switch organizations
Organizations lists the organizations you belong to, your role in each and how many members they have, and Invitations for you waiting to be answered. Open one, or use Switch account, to see its Overview: its short name, members, creation date and Your role.
WebsiteInvite members
Owners and admins invite people from Invitations › Invite people: by GitHub username (they see it on their dashboard), by Email (we email them a link that works for the account with that verified address), or with an Invite link anyone can use until it expires or runs out of uses. Each invitation takes a seat while it is pending.
WebsiteAccept an organization invitation
An invitation link opens Join … on GitTree, with the role you are invited as and when it expires. Sign in (or create an account) and you come back to it; press Accept invitation. Invitations sent to your GitHub username or email also wait under Invitations for you on your dashboard.
WebsiteManage invitations
Pending invitations lists each open invitation with the Invitee (or Invite link), Role, when it Expires and, for links, its Uses. Revoke stops one working immediately; people who already joined stay in the organization.
WebsiteUnderstand organization roles
An organization has three roles. Owner can do everything, and only owners manage owners and delete the organization. Admin can edit the organization, invite, manage billing, remove members and admins, and change roles except to or from owner. Member can see the organization and its members, and leave. An organization always keeps at least one owner.
WebsiteManage members and roles
Members lists everyone in the organization with their Role and when they Joined. Owners and admins can change a role with Role of … and Remove a member; removed people lose access and can be invited again later. Removing someone frees their seat.
WebsiteEdit organization settings
In the organization’s Settings, owners and admins can change the Organization name (2 to 64 characters) and the Short name (3 to 39 lowercase letters, numbers or hyphens, starting and ending with a letter or number, unique). GitTree says Organization updated.
WebsiteLeave or delete an organization
Leave organization… removes only you: you lose access until someone invites you again, and the last owner cannot leave. Delete organization…, for owners, removes the organization, ends every membership and cancels its invitations; it cannot be undone from the website.
