Hi @ninjamovesonly, If you no longer have access to the email address associated with your old GitHub account, you can try contacting GitHub support and explaining your situation. They may be able to help you regain access to your old account if you can provide sufficient proof that you are the owner of the account. This may include providing personal identification and other information to verify your identity. |

If you've lost access to your old GitHub account and want to recover your repository codes, you should reach out to GitHub support for assistance. GitHub's support team can guide you through the account recovery process. Here are the general steps you can take:
GitHub support will likely ask you for some verification details to confirm your identity. This could include information such as the email associated with the account, repository names, commit history, or any other details that could help prove your ownership. Remember to be as detailed as possible in your communication with GitHub support to facilitate a quicker resolution. |

I am in the same situation. I reached out to github support on 2nd of Jul 2024 and they responded me on 09th Jul 2024 and said that they can not help me with this situation. Best I could do is fork the public repos from the account and they know this solution is far from ideal. This is not acceptable. Github should improve their support system. Right now their attitude is like we won't help you and you can't do anything about it. 😠😠😠 |
