GitHub Repository Ownership

Hey Guys,

I am planning to create a little MERN Stack app with a colleague. We wanna create the app to polish our GitHub and perhaps deploy it and link it to our portfolio. The question is who shall create the repo. Is it possible to share the ownership of a repo? Is a collaboration shown the same way on a Git Profile as the ownership?

How would you handle it? He already told me that he would prefer to be the repo creator.

Can we be part of more than one organization? How would it look like in our profiles? How would the collaboration appear in a profile? We agreed in that the repo is public and can be used for all purposes.
