# Become a GitHub Repository Collaborator
> GitHub collaborator loyalty rule. Reward users who are collaborators on your repository.
## **Overview**
This loyalty rule allows admins to reward users for becoming a collaborator on a specific [GitHub](https://github.com/) repository. This rule is useful for recognizing and incentivizing contributors who have been granted collaborator access to your repository.
## **Prerequisites**
* The user must have connected their GitHub account to Snag.
* The user must be added as a collaborator to the specified GitHub repository by the repository owner or administrator.
## **Rule Configuration Fields**
### **Reward**
* **Type of Reward**: Choose between "Points" or "Multiplier".
* **Points**: Users will get the defined no of points.
* **Multiplier**: Users will get the multiplier of the defined amount.
### **Basic Settings**
* **Update Cadence**: The GitHub Repository Collaborator rule rewards users **immediately** upon successful verification that they are a collaborator on the repository.
* **User Reward Frequency**: This is a one-time reward that users can claim after being added as a collaborator.
### **Custom Settings**
* **Skip the multiplier for this rule**: Toggle to skip the multiplier for this rule
* **GitHub Repo URL** \*: The full URL of the GitHub repository where users need to be collaborators (e.g., `https://github.com/owner/repository`). This is a required field that identifies the target repository.
## **Verification Process**
Users verify their GitHub repository collaborator status through the following process:
Users must first connect their GitHub account to Snag if they haven't already done so.
Repository owners or administrators must add the user as a collaborator to the
specified GitHub repository through the repository settings.
After being added as a collaborator, users can claim the reward through the
loyalty rule interface.
The system verifies that: - The user is listed as a collaborator on the
specified repository
Once verified, users receive their reward immediately.
## **Important Notes**
The GitHub Repo URL should be in the format
`https://github.com/owner/repository`.
To add a user as a collaborator, go to your repository on GitHub, navigate to
Settings → Collaborators, and add the user by their GitHub username. The user
will need to accept the collaboration invitation before they can claim the
reward.
