Maintaining your project

Once your project is live on GrantFox, the next step is to keep it healthy, organized, and contributor-friendly.

This section of the Maintainer Guide covers everything you need to manage your project over time - from syncing repositories to coordinating contributors and structuring issues effectively. Maintaining a project isn’t just about code; it’s about creating a clear and welcoming collaboration flow for the community.

What this section covers

In the following pages, you’ll learn how to:

• Add and manage repositories connected to your project

• Invite and manage maintainers with the right permissions

• Create, structure, and assign issues to contributors

• Keep collaboration transparent and easy to follow

Each subsection focuses on a specific part of the maintainer workflow, helping you scale contributions while keeping full visibility and control over your project.

A well-maintained project attracts better contributors, receives higher-quality pull requests, and grows more sustainably over time. GrantFox is here to support you through each of these steps.
