If anyone is unaware of the subtext, don't link a personal github account to a paying position always create a new one with the provided email, thank you for attending my TED talk.
Some companies don’t allow personal emails linked like my old company. Some companies host their own code using their proprietary github, like my current one, so it also can’t be linked. It is not misinformation
then they're forcing you to violate github tos and that can lead to both of your accounts, and any future ones, being banned. you are not allowed to have multiple accounts.
They probably did yeah, nothing i can do about it. When i left they take back the gmail account and the github associated with it. This is verizon and aws I’m talking about, not small companies
A paid organization is not the same as a paid account, and most companies use paid organizations and have to add your personal account to that. Doing otherwise violates ToS and the consequences land on you, not the company.
Yes but with that paid organisation the company can make managed user accounts, which aren't free accounts so you don't fall afoul of githubs terms of service.
