Personal account reference

Side effects of account deletion

• All repositories, forks of private repositories, wikis, issues, pull requests and pages owned by your account will be deleted, and your username will be available for use.
• If you're the only owner in the organization, you must transfer ownership to another person or delete your organization.
• If there are other organization owners in the organization, you must remove yourself from the organization.

如果帐户命名空间包含存储在 GitHub Packages 注册表中的任何包或容器映像，则在你删除帐户时，GitHub 会删除包和容器映像。 删除帐户后，可能会中断依赖于这些包和映像的项目。

Side effects of converting an account to an organization

• You will no longer be able to sign into the converted personal account.
• You will no longer be able to create or modify gists owned by the converted personal account.
• An organization cannot be converted back to a user.
• The SSH keys, OAuth tokens, job profile, reactions, and associated user information, will not be transferred to the organization. This is only true for the personal account that's being converted, not any of the personal account's collaborators.
• Any GitHub Apps installed on the converted personal account will be uninstalled.
• Any commits made with the converted personal account will no longer be linked to that account. The commits themselves will remain intact.
• Any existing comments made by the converted personal account will no longer be linked to that account. The comments themselves will remain intact, but will be associated with the ghost user.
• Any forks of private repositories made with the converted personal account will be deleted.
• Since organizations cannot star repositories, you will no longer have access to your original list of starred repositories.
• You will no longer have access to the list of users you were following from your user account.
• Any followers of your user account will not automatically follow the new organization.
• Any existing collaborators on your projects will still have access to those projects in the new organization.
• GitHub Actions is not automatically enabled on the account after converting it to an organization, and will have to be re-enabled. To re-enable GitHub Actions, create a new workflow file in the .github/workflows directory of your repository.

Side effects of merging accounts

• Organization and repository access permissions aren't transferable between accounts. If the account you want to delete has an existing access permission, an organization owner or repository administrator will need to invite the account that you want to keep.
• Any commits authored with a GitHub-provided noreply email address cannot be transferred from one account to another. If the account you want to delete used the Keep my email address private option, it won't be possible to transfer the commits authored by the account you are deleting to the account you want to keep.
• Issues, pull requests, and discussions will not be attributed to the new account.
• Achievements are not able to be transferred between accounts.
