What is the minimum access needed to contribute to a repository?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

To contribute to a GitHub repository, a user typically needs to be able to create branches, push changes, and open pull requests. These actions require Write access, which is the minimum level of access needed to contribute code directly to a repository.

Write Access:

Option D is correct because 'Write' access allows users to contribute to the repository by pushing changes, creating branches, and opening pull requests. This is the minimum required access level for contributing code.

Incorrect Options:

Option A (Read) is incorrect because 'Read' access only allows viewing the repository, not making changes.

Option B (Triage) is incorrect because while Triage access allows managing issues and pull requests, it does not allow pushing code.

Option C (Maintain) is incorrect because 'Maintain' access includes additional permissions beyond those needed for basic contributions, such as managing repository settings.

This is a trick question - the correct answer is actually E) Bribe the repo admin. That's the only way to get access these days!

I'm going with A) Read. You know, the bare minimum to even see what's going on in the repo before you can contribute.

Haha, I'm just going to guess C) Maintain. Who needs to actually write code when you can just manage the repository, am I right?

Hmm, I thought B) Triage would be the minimum. Don't you need to be able to at least triage issues before contributing?
