Can I use GitHub on github.ucsb.edu?
github.ucsb.edu run by the College of Engineering for Engineering Students was replaced in 2020 with a different version of Github run by Enterprise Technology Services (ITS/ETS) and open to all UCSB students. Please see https://github.com/ucsb/github-guide for support please contact ETS/ITS directly at https://www.it.ucsb.edu/help-support/it-services-catalog
Any active UCSB student, faculty, or staff that works directly in support of students’ education is eligible for a UCSB GitHub account.
They can log in using their UCSBnetID Username and Password to access GitHub.
Please also note that you are creating/using a personal Github account and then linking it to the UCSB Github through single sign in (SSO)
Due to the licensing requirements for GitHub, we can only offer the service to active UCSB Student, Faculty or Staff members.
If you are not one of the above, you will need permission from a UCSB Department member, under their sponsorship a guest/affiliate UCSBnetID can be made through the Identity Annex.
