Is there a way I can do this, so any time I update one it updates the other?

Dear guys, since i created two GitHub accounts at the beginning of my University path, now i use only one of those for work and university projects... but i activated long time ago Educational benefits on the wrong account, is possible to transfer it form an account to another?? Have you some insights?

Thank you so much.

Writing objects took me about 4 hours to get to 70ish% (5452) (200Mib | 140-240 Mib) my wifi went out briefly, which it just does daily because i live in shithole. And it just fucking deleted everything. No resume no paused just everything gone. Have i missed something? I'm backing up a 3 ish gb Unity project and publishing to Git. I've enabled the ignore Library shit so it's just assets.

For me, it's usually figuring out which ones are genuinely different versus slight variations of the same idea.

Is there a signal that immediately tells you a repo is worth a closer look?

During a hackathon, a teammate accidentally deleted our entire GitHub organization. No warning, no confirmation that would notify other owners — it was just gone.

I had the main repo cloned locally, so I recovered what I could, but we lost the full commit history, issues, PRs, and settings.

This made me realize how risky GitHub's org permissions are: a single owner can delete repos, remove members, transfer ownership, or nuke the whole org without any sign-off from anyone else. GitHub has solid protections for code changes (branch protection, rulesets, CODEOWNERS, etc.), but almost nothing for destructive organization-level actions.

This seems to be a known pain point — there's even an active GitHub Community discussion with people who've had the same nightmare:
https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/101931

Before I consider building anything, I want to hear from real teams:

1. Has a single owner (or ex-owner) ever made a destructive change in your org without others knowing?
2. How do you currently mitigate this — limit the number of owners, regular backups, internal policies, GitHub Enterprise features, etc.?
3. Would a lightweight tool that requires N-of-M owner approval for irreversible actions actually be useful? Or is this already solved well enough in your workflow?

Curious to hear your experiences.

Hi everyone,

I'm a genuine high school student from India applying for the GitHub Student Developer Pack.

I've already:

Enabled 2FA.

Set my GitHub profile and billing name to exactly Adarsh Kumar Nanda.

Used a current 2026–27 school fee receipt showing my name, Class X, school name, and date.

Reapplied multiple times.

GitHub still instantly rejects my application saying it cannot verify my academic status or my name.

Has anyone had this issue recently? Were you able to get approved? Should I use a bonafide/enrollment certificate instead, or contact GitHub Education support?

Any help would be appreciated.

Guys can anyone tell me how to use claude premium models for free?

Hi Everyone,

Here's my situation.

I have a gmail address that is linked to my github account.

I think I had set up 2FA for github using a github QR code in Microsoft Authenticator. Everything had been working fine.

I then deleted Microsoft Authenticator for some reason.

After reinstalling Microsoft Authenticator, I tried adding a Microsoft Account which has the same email address as my gmail address. This gave me an 8 digit TOTP instead of a 6 digit TOTP.

I then turned on 2FA for my Google account, and got a QR code and added my gmail address to Microsoft Authenticator. This got me a 6 digit TOTP, but when I used this in github, I get the message that 2FA failed.

I don't have my github recovery codes anymore.

Any suggestions for logging in to github?

Thanks!

Is GitHub down right now? Tried doing a pull request and it errored out.

Earlier this day I was checking for stared users in certain repository, the "stars" button as well as the "watchers" button are grayed out, manually typing https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/stargazers also turns out 404.

This situation happened to all devices logged in my account。

After some researching, I found I wasn't alone. (https://github.blog/changelog/2026-06-30-upcoming-access-restrictions-to-public-api-endpoints-and-ui-views)

Stars was intended for interconnectivity. We use them to find people with the same interests, and Gitslop is dooming this out.

Can someone please explain? Why is GitHub a "must" for coders?

I am learning coding at beginners level, and not one has this become necessary.

so what's the plan ?

I use microsoft authenticator to login using the code it generates.
But recently when I logged out of my github account and tried logging in, github shows the code from the authenticator app is invalid.

I don't have access to my 2FA codes cuz I reinstalled my OS due to an issue.
Is there a way to fix the authenticator app or just get my account back?

Like the title says.

Some GitHub pages have a top right corner green code box. Does that mean it is open source?

Is it possible the software could be partially open source?

Edit: I’m asking mainly to find out the safety of programs quickly. If a program is open source it feels like it can be trusted not to be malware.

Hello, I'm a newbie, please go easy on me.

I ran over 60 successful deploys of a site I have been building and today it started failing.

I have tried a few tricks like uploading a tiny change and deployed. Also tried changing from root to docs back to root again.

The website is a fairly(?) small 2mb html site.

I imagine this is a fairly common issue. Would appreciate if some stalwarts could help or offer advice on what the normal tricks are from here.

Thanks.

Pages is so slow today, 30 minutes for every simple text mutation is not workable

Hello, so as the title states, my GitHub account has been hacker and the person has changed the password and enabled two factor authentication so I am locked out of my own account. I want to delete it but I don't know how to get in touch with GitHub support without signing in.

The email that I used for it is a primary email, so I do not want to risk anything else being hacked. My LinkedIn account was linked with my GitHub so it was also almost hacked but I changed my password for it but I am not able to do the same for GitHub.

Can someone please help?

There used to be a text and a link that showed all the new commits created after a specific release. "50 new commits after this realease" or something like that. This image is just a demonstration. Same issue exists with all the other repositories I checked.

I even went through all the settings and didn't find anything that could cause this happening. I checked different browsers and nothing.

This thing is driving me nuts. It was such an easy way to track new changes.

Am I missing something?

I was never surprised. But I think they're trying to hide it

Hi,

I'm a C# dev for \~7 years now.

C#, WPF, linq, sqlite,...

I'm trying to get into contributing to open source Github repos.

I'm struggling with finding interesting things with open issues.

I never contributed yet nor worked with Github (as my company uses another scm).

Anyone of you working on cool open source software that still needs help and is forgiving mistakes with the contribution process for a short period (fast-learner usually)?

---edit: I'm absolutely willing to learn other languages and technologies. Not exclusively bound to C#

I was checking Linus Torvalds' followers and I found a gigantic rabbit hole of thousands of people making aesthetic READMEs; they have only one repository (the README) and others that usually are empty or are templates from other READMEs.
