Hello -

I've been invited by @gregos-livecouk to collaborate on a repository but I get a 404 error when trying the link. We've gone back and forth to ensure the link hasn't expired, we've both got the right details, tried again, etc., to no avail. Help appreciated!

Thanks

It is most likely an authentication issue, so check whether or not you are signed in with GitHub on the account that the invitation is for. Make sure you are logged into GitHub and once you receive the link, paste it into your browser to accept the invitation.

Hey am new to github discussions but has he tried inviting you as collaborator using this method:

1. got to the repository
2. click settings
3. click collaborators
4. under manage access click add people and choose someone. that will then send this person an invite to their account.
5. on their end they have to accept this invite via their github and voila.

anyways thought I'd try to help let me know how things go.

Followed that process, checked and double-checked authentication, still no dice.
