Joining a Team

1. Join the Github Organization

If you haven't done so yet, joining the github.com/allianz organization is the first step before becoming a part of a team. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Open GIAM and search for "Allianz Open Source". Details can be found here (internal).
2. Order the item.

After completing the initial steps, you will receive a GitHub invitation within a few days, which will always be sent to your Allianz email address, regardless of your GitHub profile settings. Be aware that the invitation is often filtered out of the inbox by spam filters or custom mail rules that target GitHub notification emails. Make sure to check your spam or filtered folders to avoid missing it.

Before accepting, continue with the following steps:

3. Log in to Github with your private GitHub account. Do not use any auto-generated GitHub account that has been provided by the company. These accounts are restricted to internal development and cannot be utilized for open source contributions.
4. Add your Allianz email to your private Github account for proper contribution identification within the company context.
5. Accept the invitation.

2. Join the Team

1. Check the config file repos.yaml to find the team name of the desired project.
2. Open GIAM and search for the team name.
3. Order the item.
