team invitations by email? #17

Closed Drealmer closed 9 years ago

Drealmer commented 9 years ago

Hello,

It seems that I have to provide a github user name for inviting people to join a team. Any idea if that can be done by directly using their email address? That would make it much more convenient for inviting students to their respective teams, since their user name can be whatever they want, but the school-provided email is standardized.

Thanks, Fabrice

There's no way to invite a user to a GitHub organization by email, but you can check out add-to-org for a possible workaround.
