This could be worth a try. I have added your github repository as a remote source to my local git ("git remote add github http://www.github.com/fhoudebert/jocly.git"):

hgmuller@hgmuller-VirtualBox:~/jocly/src/games/chessbase$ git remote -v

I tried to pull one of your branches ("git pull github elephantine"), and this seemed to work in principle. But I get a lot of complaints that it cannot automatically merge some of my files with yours. I suppose this is because I try to import them in the wrong branch. If I try it after checking out 'master' it just said I am up to date.

Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

But anyway, pulling seems to work. So I suppose that if I had write permission to your github repository, I could push my branches there too.

The more conventional solution to do this is that you would pull from my repository. Then you would not have to give write access to anyone, and reading is public.

The main problem is to make the branches compatible, in particular rebase my branch on the current HEAD of master, now that master has grown compared to the point where I forked off. The merge problems it flags are those that were more or less expected: we both modified the fairy sprites, we both added a (different) Crowned Bishop, and we added different variants to index.js and pieces to fairy-set-view.js. This should be reasonably easy to solve; the more tricky thing is whether there would be incompatibilites in the code. The update to gulp 4 might be a problem, as my Ubuntu is so old that it has no longer access to repositories.
