 **Can I write to repositories at GitHub**?

 If your project is currently hosted on Gitbox then you can push to GitHub.
 In order to get write access to repositories, you will need to visit our <a href="https://gitbox.apache.org/boxer/">Boxer</a>
 portal, which will guide you through the process of linking your ASF and GitHub accounts. The process only takes
 a minute or two, and will automatically grant you access to all the repositories owned by the projects
 you are active on.

 **To move to GitHub as master follow the steps below:**

 1. Add yourself to our GitHub organization (see above) and make sure you are already a committer for the relevant project.
 1. Visit the <a href="https://gitbox.apache.org/" target="_blank">GitBox site</a> and link your GitHub account with your ASF account.
 1. Wait about an hour for things to sync up.
 1. You now have read/write access to both gitbox.apache.org and GitHub!

 **Assign roles**

 Projects can [assign roles](github-roles.html) to people who want access to the project GitHub repositories. Each role gives a different level of access.
