I own a Vercel Hobby project connected to a private GitHub repository. A colleague has GitHub collaborator access but is not a member of my Vercel team.

Their latest commit was blocked because the commit author does not have contributing access. Redeploying through my owner account also shows an upgrade requirement.

If my colleague submits pull requests and I personally review, test, and merge them, is deploying those changes supported on Hobby? If so, what is the officially supported workflow that preserves the colleague’s authorship?

The website is a Malaysia-focused dating/social platform. Membership is currently free, and we are developing it as a platform with a colleague. Does this use qualify for Hobby’s personal, non-commercial use requirement, or do we need Pro?

We want to keep the repository private and follow Vercel’s rules without changing commit attribution or bypassing restrictions.
