GitHub Collaboration Using the Shared Repository Model

Can someone provide me with the cheat sheet for GitHub collaboration for a team of two who want equal access/rights to the repo. I am confused as to the need to use forking which appears to make sense for a large open source project with dispersed devs but seeems like overkill when I and my partner sit 10 feet from each other.

Thanks,
Doug

If you have a small team and want everyone to have access to the repo, you can just grant them collaborator permission in the repo's admin settings. Forking isn't required if your scenario doesn't require it. (Although forking can be useful, you're also partly right: if you have a small team and know all the other team members and don't mind giving them read/write access, there's no need to fork.)
