Hi resigned, Thanks for asking! Usernames at GitHub are offered on a first-come-first-served basis, and are intended for immediate use. If a name might be available for you to use, you will find that out during the process of changing your GitHub username. You may also want to have a read of our Name Squatting Policy. Hope that helps! |
