It is important to know when to host a project under your namespace and when under an organization. With the organization, you have the ability to create teams and provide different access levels to people in the various repositories that are hosted under it.
In this chapter, we will go through creating an organization, inviting people, and granting them access to the repositories that are hosted under the organization. You will learn how to create teams and associate members of your organization to them as well as with the repositories.
