Merging multiple personal accounts

If you have separate accounts for work and personal use, you can merge the accounts.

Tip

Enterprise Managed Users allow an enterprise to provision unique personal accounts for its members through an identity provider (IdP). For more information, see About Enterprise Managed Users. For other use cases, we recommend using only one personal account to manage both personal and professional repositories.

  1. Transfer any repositories from the account you want to delete to the account you want to keep. Issues, pull requests, and wikis are transferred as well. Verify the repositories exist on the account you want to keep.
  2. Update the remote URLs in any local clones of the repositories that were moved.
  3. Delete the account you no longer want to use.
  4. To attribute past commits to the new account, add the email address you used to author the commits to the account you're keeping.

    Note

    There are additional requirements for commits to count as contributions that you will need to ensure are met. See Troubleshooting missing contributions.
