Transferring ownership of git repo + vercel deployment

Help
1

I have a git repo with a vercel app ready to deploy through my personal email (let’s call it personal@gmail.com), and I need to share a link with my team for the app soon.

But I am leaving the team in the near future so i need to transfer ownership of the git repo and vercel proj to a new email (lets call it new@gmail.com) without causing too many authentication errors for my current git bash set up on my local comp (changing auth for git bash is always such a headache). What’s the best way to go about this?

Should I launch the vercel project with the personal@gmail.com account, then later transfer ownership of the git repo and the vercel project to the new@gmail.com accounts? I think this would cause errors.

I tried adding new@gmail.com as a collaborator to my current personal@gmail.com git repo, but when I linked my git to the new Vercel account it does not give me the option to deploy an app for git repos I am only a collaborator on.

Edit: I have a hobby account, not a Pro

I’m not an expert here and probably someone from the vercel team should chime in but here’s how I would go about it.

  1. Transfer repo to new owner
  2. Due to the limits on the Hobby plan, have new owner create a new project using the transferred repo. They’ll need to copy over settings manually though such as env variables
  3. Relink the domain (if you already have one set up)

Again, not sure if this is the best way, but hopefully it helps! :slight_smile:
