Protection of a startup project during development

Question

git

The people are going to write a thesis (well, at the same time help my startup)

Can anyone advise something to read on:

- organizational protection (such as restriction of rights in github, etc.)

- legal protection (an agreement with freelancers, so that later they do not demand money for their authorship and related rights)

Interested in the development of the source code.

Answer 1

SVN is by design easier to demarcate permissions than Git.

Answer 2

Restriction of user rights in git - www.zagirov.name/restriction-access-users-in-git . Not exactly what you need, but it might come in handy.

Answer 3

Regarding the division of responsibilities.
Divide responsibilities within the same repository, as far as my memory serves me, it is impossible. The problem can be solved by creating a separate repository for each component and placing them in the main one as sub-modules. In this case, you have full control over developers' access to specific components. In SVN, you can set up access to individual components within the same repository, but this is still SVN and there are many nuances here.

Answer 4

In the git, this is done with commit hooks. With your script, you check who is committing and whether he is allowed to commit these files. The script itself, if it is in the project, must also be protected by a hook.
Whether there are hooks in the github - I don’t know.
