    [SOUND] Up until now, we've been using Github as ourself, as a user. 0:00
    However, sometimes you might wanna use Github with other people that you work 0:08
    closely with. 0:12
    This could be your employer, an open source organization, or 0:13
    a personal project you're working on. 0:16
    When you have a group of people working together and 0:18
    you need multiple repositories you probably need a GitHub Organization. 0:20
    A GitHub organization lets you manage and organize group-owned repositories. 0:25
    Here is an example. 0:29
    Say you already have a GitHub account. 0:31
    We'll use mine for example. 0:33
    You've been working on personal projects and contributing to Open Source. 0:35
    Then you get a job at Acme, Inc. 0:39
    Acme, Inc is using a GitHub Organization to manage their repositories. 0:42
    Acme, Inc can invite you to collaborate on the repositories it'd 0:46
    like you to have access to without giving you access to everything. 0:50
    You can be a member of a bunch of different organizations, but 0:54
    you'll only ever have your one user account. 0:57
    >> Let's create an organization of our own to learn how to use GitHub as 1:01
    part of a group. 1:04
    At the top of your screen, click the Plus icon and then choose New Organization. 1:05
    Now let's give our organization a name. 1:11
    I'll call mine KDaygel inc., but you can call yours whatever you'd like. 1:13
    Most organizations just use their company name. 1:18
    Your organization will get a profile just like your user does. 1:21
    Your organization profile can be a great way for 1:25
    a company to share its open source projects in a single place. 1:27
    We'll be using your organization through the rest of this stage. 1:30
    So make sure to pick a name that's memorable. 1:33
    Fill out your name and then enter your email address. 1:36
    And then click Create organization at the bottom of the page. 1:42
    We'll only be using public repositories, so 1:47
    creating this organization won't cost you anything. 1:49
    Normally though, when working in an organization, you'd be using private 1:52
    repositories to keep your code private, and there is cost associated with that. 1:55
    Let's skip the step to invite people in your new organization, 2:00
    because we'll be doing that later. 2:03
    Great, you're the owner of a brand new GitHub organization. 2:06
    In the next video, we'll start using one organization specific feature, teams. 2:10
