Why Did We Choose a Repository Instead of an Organization? - fedemelo/unitrade-wiki GitHub Wiki

This entry briefly explains our decision to use three repositories instead of an organization. In particular, we use:

• This repository, which hosts the wiki and serves as the central hub.
• The repository for the Swift app: Swifties.
• The repository for the Flutter app: 404 NameNotFound.

The decision to use three separate repositories and have a central repository for the wiki and easy access to the other two, instead of opting for an organization, was driven by the specific benefits provided by our university’s GitHub account. Our university account grants us access to paid repositories, which include features for code management we deem essential — specifically: branch protection, draft issues, multiple reviewers for pull requests, and the use of Wikis.

If we were to create an organization, these paid features would not be available within its repositories.

We encourage the university to consider granting access to paid organizations in the future, as it could provide even greater convenience.
