## Need Help?
First, please make sure you have read and followed all of the [instructions below](#getting-started). If you still need help, please request assistance via the [Trimble GitHub Charlie Page](https://charlie.trimble.com/channels/204800003/TrimbleGitHub).
🔍 Already set up? You can **Go straight to the [Trimble GitHub Organization](https://github.com/trimble-oss)**
## Getting Started
**Please be sure you read through the following bullet points and take any necessary action.**
- Add the `GitHub - Trimble` application from your Okta homepage.
- Create a GitHub account if you don't already have one.
- **Update**: It is now recommended that you create a Trimble specific GitHub account rather than using an existing personal GitHub username. This is particularly important if you want to use GitHub Copilot as using a personal GitHub account risks combining personal data and business data.
- **Replace the default GitHub account avatar with something that uniquely identifies you.**
- **Read the [Contributor Guidelines](/guidelines/index.md). No really, we mean it, read them!**
- Join the [Trimble GitHub Channel on Charlie](https://app.happeo.com/channels/204800003/TrimbleGithub)!
### Request to Join an Organization
The following instructions are sufficient for both adding you as a licensed Trimble GitHub user, and for receiving an invitation to join the **`trimble-oss`** organization.
**If you want to join a different organization**, please continue to follow the instructions below to receive a Trimble license for GitHub. However, you will also need to specifically request access to that organization by finding and contacting an [administrator for that organization](https://trimble.domo.com/page/876535730).
---
Use the following template to prepare and [send an email to the admins mailing list](mailto:trimble-oss-contrib-admins-ug@trimble.com) requesting to join.
**Please include your GitHub username**, *not* your Trimble email address in your message.
```text
Dear Trimble GitHub Administrators,

I am joining because I...
