# dpt-invite-github(1)

Invite someone to a GitHub organization

## NAME

dpt-invite-github - Invite someone to a GitHub organization

## SYNOPSIS

```
    dpt invite-github [option...] {github-username}
```

## DESCRIPTION

**dpt invite-github** can be used for inviting people to become members of a GitHub organization. You can set the organization name through `"DPT_GITHUB_ORGNAME"` environment variable (defaults to *pkg-perl-tools*).

This script needs the `"DPT_GITHUB_OAUTH"` environment variable, which can be set in *~/.dpt.conf* or *~/.config/dpt.conf*. Cf. [**dpt-github-oauth**(1)](/dpt-github-oauth/1.md) and [**dpt-config**(5)](/dpt-config/5.md).

You need to have write access to the `"admin:org"` scope to be able to manage organization memberships. Please, make sure the token you use has that scope in \<https://github.com/settings/tokens\>.

## OPTIONS

- **--role** *name*

  This option sets the role for the user. Valid roles are *admin* or *member*, which is the default.

- **--force**

  Use this option if the GitHub user is already a member of the organization and you want to change their role anyway.
