Org Git · Second engineer
Personal repos and laptop-only deploys strand products. This handoff puts the tree on an org remote, sets branch rules, keeps secrets out of history, and proves a second engineer can ship without you. An account is a person's GitHub login; a seat is a paid place for that person in an organization's plan. Keep the code you built. Stop being the only key.

GitHub handoff means the project lives on an org remote, merges need a second pair of eyes where you use review, secrets stay out of history, and another engineer can ship from a clean clone. You keep the work. You stop being the only person who can deploy.
Where founder-only Git breaks
Builder export to a personal repo feels done. It is not handoff until org ownership and a second ship pass.
Move to the org. Transfer admin. Document access.
Protect main. Require review where the team is bigger than one.
Purge or rotate. Use host vaults — not .env in Git.
Have them clone, install, and promote once.
The handoff week
Order matters. Proof last seals it.
01
Admins named. Personal sole-owner ended.
02
Main protected. CI required if you have it.
03
Rotate anything that leaked.
04
Clean clone to promote without the founder.
How to
Ownership, rules, proof.
Step 01
Two admins minimum.
Step 02
Pin versions. Write the start command.
Step 03
Review where team size allows.
Step 04
Rotate builder-era values.
Step 05
That is the done check.

The remote sits under the company org, at least two admins exist, and the founder’s personal account is not the only path to push or delete. Transfer complete — not a fork you forgot.
Protect main, require a pull request, and require one review when a second engineer exists. Solo founders still protect main and use CI checks so laptop force-pushes are harder.
Never commit .env or panel dumps. Scan history once; rotate anything that appeared. Load secrets from the host vault on deploy.
They clone on a clean machine, install from lockfiles, run start, and complete one promote — without screenshares or the founder’s laptop env.
Bring the current remote and who holds admin. We put org Git and a second ship pass in place.
