I am aiming to create an open-source knowledge repository inspired by cp-algorithms.com . Now, I am planning this to be a long term project. This project MIGHT have different repositories, depending on how I structure the content. I am really confused between two alternatives:
- Should I create an organisation on GitHub owned by me, and then add members / repositories on it, or
- Should I make use of another GitHub user account with the name of the project?
The latter option seems pretty lucrative to me, since it will be linked to its own email account, there will be separation of concern, and I can still make contribution from my personal account on that account’s repositories.
The “cons” that I could find against the latter option were that organisations make it easier to manage people and (apparently) gives more credibility to the project.
In the long run, which method would be more beneficial? And why?
Thanks in advance!
