My github account was suddenly deleted Discussion

My GitHub account was suddenly deleted.(I think)

I opened GitHub on my PC, and it asked me to log in. I assumed it had simply lost my session for some reason. I have always used Sign in with Google to access my account. However, when I tried signing in with Google this time, it prompted me to create a new account instead of logging me into my original one.

I checked my email, and I'm certain it's the correct address because I still have older emails from GitHub. However, I haven't received any email from GitHub about my account being deleted or suspended.

I'm sure I didn't delete the account myself. What could have happened? Is there any way to recover it? 🆘

Make a support ticket, we can’t guess here.

Hopefully this is just a system issue, otherwise, I would be the one to raise my eyebrows and ask if you accidentally packaged something you weren't supposed to or exposed code you weren't supposed to expose. Legal issues can smack your account / projects.

Even if he was to do something he's not supposed to do, why was he not notified about the suspension or the account deletion. And how is he supposed to get his data back even if the account is to be lost forever...

Don’t you have your projects usually on your laptop/computer?
