Minimize the number of organizations
Most businesses are best served by a single organization. Some enterprises may need multiple organizations for compliance or security reasons, but try to create as few as possible. A smaller number of organizations encourages innersource practice, allows discussions to involve a wider audience, and reduces administrative overhead.
For more guidance on how many organizations to create and how to structure them, see "AUTOTITLE."
Avoid extensive collaboration in user-owned repositories
We recommend collaborating in organization-owned repositories whenever possible and minimizing collaboration in user-owned repositories. Organization-owned repositories have more sophisticated security and administrative features, and they remain accessible even as enterprise membership changes.
Use human-readable usernames
{% ifversion ghec %}If you control the usernames for enterprise members, use{% else %}Use{% endif %} human-readable usernames, and avoid machine-generated IDs that are difficult for humans to read.
You can manage the display of usernames within your enterprise's private repositories. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."
