Display Name Removal #133402
-
Select Topic AreaQuestion BodyHow do I hide my display name? My username (Istalri Skolir Productions) is fine but my display name is using my real name which I'd rather not have shown publicly and would prefer not to show on my profile or integrations. How can it be removed so that is its shown anywhere on GitHub or platforms that I integrate my account onto? |

Hi @JohnWolfson ,
Before doing so, take a look at the unintended side effects of changing your username on GitHub. |

Hi @JohnWolfson ,
Istalri Skolir Productionsis actually your "full name" on GitHub whileJohnWolfsonis your username. If that's your real name and you don't want it to be displayed publicly you'll have to change it by going toSettings=>Account=>Change Username:Before doing so, take a look at the unintended side effects of changing your username on GitHub.
