Hello everyone, my name is João Vitor and I’m from Brazil. I own a community of developers that help people who are just getting started with programming. We have about 1k members, and because of that we decided to create a github account. However, our name has already been used (the name is “LetsCodeBR”), but the account is inactive.
Does anyone know how I should do it?
And is there a way to report or change that account name?
With only name you can’t blame anyone to copy your community name. I guess you have only option to create the GitHub account with a different name.
With only name as same with your orginization you can get that account username if you report that account. I guess there is no way to change it. You can still report and get support at offical website here may be they can help.
Good luck
Welcome!
Please remember that not all GitHub activity is public; accounts can appear inactive even if they are not.
GitHub accounts are available on a first come, first served basis. Unless you have a Trademark violation to report, you’ll need to find your group a unique name for GitHub.
