   Warning

   It is highly recommended that you do not use your Geneseo email address as your primary email address on your GitHub account. This account is intended for you to be able to use all over GitHub, even after you leave Geneseo. Your Geneseo email account becomes inaccessible after a certain period of time when you leave Geneseo, and you will have difficulties accessing your GitHub account if it is the only email registered to the account. Review the article for Account Eligibility for more information on when your Geneseo account expires after you leave the college.

   
   

   Info

   When creating a username for your account, be sure it does not violate the Information Technology Acceptable Use Policy or Student Code of Conduct. In addition to disciplinary action from Geneseo, it's possible GitHub itself may take actions against accounts they deem to violate their Acceptable Use Policy, which may include terminating your account. When creating your username, remember that your account will outlive your time at Geneseo. If you use GitHub in a future professional position, you do not want your username to reflect poorly on you.

   
   

2. Add your Geneseo email as a verified email by following GitHub's documentation for adding another email to your account
3. Gain access to the SUNY Geneseo organization by performing the following steps:
   1. Navigate to https://myapplications.microsoft.com/#optIn
   2. Click Add apps then Request new apps in the dropdown that appears
      
   3. On the Suggested apps page, click on GitHub - SUNYGeneseo
      
   4. Click Add
   5. In the Add app confirmation window that appears, click Add
      
   6. Once the confirmation message appears, you have begun the process of gaining access, but you may need to wait up to 40 minutes for it to be granted by the system
      
4. Once access is granted, you will receive an email from GitHub informing you that you have been invited to join the @SUNYGeneseo organization by @gsusystems
   
5. Clicking on the Join @SUNYGeneseo button or the invite link at the bottom of the email will take you to a sign in page where you will enter the credentials for your personal GitHub account or the ability to create an account if you do not already have one
   1. If you receive an error message about your account lacking a verified email address, make sure you are signing into the account you want to use for Geneseo and that you have added and verified your Geneseo email address on the account using the instructions linked in step 2
6. You will be presented with a prompt to authenticate by logging into SUNY Geneseo's single sign-on provider, click Continue
   
   1. If you see a slightly different window with the option to create an account, do not create an account there if you did not create an account in step 1, as you will be required to use your Geneseo email which is not recommended
      
7. You will be redirected to the Microsoft sign in page
8. Enter your Geneseo email, password, and complete the MFA prompt if required
9. Your account is now associated to your Geneseo single sign-on identity, and you will be taken back to GitHub
10. Your account now has access to the SUNY Geneseo organization
    1. At this point, you may create your own repository within the organization
    2. Any private repositories you are supposed to have access to may take up to 40 minutes for the access to be granted as that is the sync interval between GitHub and our single sign-on provider
