Get External Contributions to your Workspace with Forks and PRs
Blog post from Postman
API development is a collaborative effort involving not just engineers but also technical writers, QA testers, frontend developers, and partners, who need a structured way to contribute to API artifacts without accessing the service repository or internal Git workflows. This approach involves using Postman Team Workspaces connected to Git, where collections and environments evolve through pull requests and are published to the Postman Cloud via CI, enabling external collaboration through an "outer loop" process. Contributors work in isolated forks, similar to Git branches, allowing them to propose documentation, tests, and workflow improvements safely. The process involves forking collections, making changes, and submitting pull requests, which are reviewed and merged back into the shared workspace, ensuring that production artifacts remain protected. This model fosters a collaborative environment where non-engineering contributors can participate in shaping API workflows, leading to better-documented and tested APIs while maintaining version control and auditability.
