## Commit Access
**Warning:** All Ghostty beta testers also have full push access to the
repository. GitHub doesn't allow personal private repositories to have
fine-grained permissions so its all-or-nothing. However, after hundreds
of testers we've never had an issue.
For this to work, our community has to work on trust. We expect everyone
to respect each others work and to point out if you see any bad actors.
For contributions, please open PRs as previously mentioned, and only
`@mitchellh` should merge to main. Thank you!

Yes, if you have any friends you'd like to add to the beta, please ask
them to join the Discord server: [discord.gg/ghostty](https://discord.gg/ghostty).
After that, DM me with your friend's username and I'll add them to the beta
immediately. Friends of beta testers do not have to wait in the queue.

Right now technically not (no license file). But yes, it will be full
open source (by the OSI definition). I'm not sure what license to choose
yet, leaning towards going with GPL for this project but open to ideas.

We will add a license prior to opening up the repository. During the private
beta period, I'll continue with a no license project.
