Getting Started

Please be sure you read through the following bullet points and take any necessary action.

• Add the GitHub - Trimble application from your Okta homepage.
• Create a GitHub account if you don’t already have one.
  • Update: It is now recommended that you create a Trimble specific GitHub account rather than using an existing personal GitHub username. This is particularly important if you want to use GitHub Copilot as using a personal GitHub account risks combining personal data and business data.
• Replace the default GitHub account avatar with something that uniquely identifies you.
• Read the Contributor Guidelines. No really, we mean it, read them!
• Join the Trimble GitHub Channel on Charlie!

Request to Join an Organization

The following instructions are sufficient for both adding you as a licensed Trimble GitHub user, and for receiving an invitation to join the trimble-oss organization.

If you want to join a different organization, please continue to follow the instructions below to receive a Trimble license for GitHub. However, you will also need to specifically request access to that organization by finding and contacting an administrator for that organization.

Use the following template to prepare and send an email to the admins mailing list requesting to join.

Please include your GitHub username, not your Trimble email address in your message.

Dear Trimble GitHub Administrators,

I have added the GitHub - Trimble application to my Okta account. Please grant access for my GitHub account:

@yourgithubusername (not your Trimble email address)

{ Tell us a bit about yourself and your role at Trimble. }

I am joining because I...

{ why you want to join GitHub }

Thanks,
