Hi there

I recently changed my username but it resulted in adding the new one to the old one and now I can’t even try changing it again to the name I want because now it says the name already exists! Github Community has it well described in conversation #69890. ‘Username did not change’. I am unable to expand the window to see what the solution is. Is there anyone who knows?

Regards

Cairnsy

I think this is an issue for GitHub, not core git. You might want to change your discussion to an Issue on that website.
