Github restricting access

Question

I am using github.

I\'m trying to figure out how to restrict repo access for a contractor i have.

I have the main rails codebase and i also have a contractor

Answer 1

If all of the css/ux files are within a particular subfolder, and you want him to have access to everything in that directory, and further down, you could do it with git submodules.

The contractor would have push/pull rights to the repo that is a submodule, but no commit rights on the main repo.

You could also just use the pull request feature and make sure that he only commits to the folder he wants.
