Onboarding

Accessing Vanderbilt's Enterprise GitHub

BOTH a personal GitHub account and your VUNetID are REQUIRED for accessing the Vanderbilt Enterprise GitHub.

If you already have a personal GitHub account, you can begin with Invitation to the Organization. If you need to create a personal GitHub account, start with Creating a GitHub Account.

Creating a GitHub Account

1. Navigate to GitHub's account creation page.
2. Create a personal GitHub account using the following information:
   1. Email: GitHub recommends using a personal email that you will retain access to. You are welcome to use your VU email address, however access to your GitHub account can be temporarily lost if VU email access is terminated for any reason.
   2. Password:: Create an appropriate password.
   3. Username: Create an appropriate username.

Invitation to the Organization

1. Make a request to be added to the GitHub_Enterprise_Users AD group.
2. Invitations are received via email. You will be prompted to log into your GitHub account, then log into the SSO with your VUNetID and password.
3. Once joined, The-Vanderbilt-University Organization can be found under Your Organizations.
