Github collaboration: does it matter where the GitHub repo lives?

Sylwia Vargas - Mar 27 '20 - - Dev Community

Hey friends!
I am wondering if it matters on whose account a github repo lives. I oftentimes have some project idea and then usually my collaborator goes ahead and creates a github repo for it. I didn't mind it until I noticed that this is a pattern with so many people — folks seem to care a great deal to have the repo live on their accounts.

My questions:

  • When and why does it matter?
  • Does it matter, if the project is non-commercial?
  • And does it matter if the project will be monetized?

Thank you!
