About 18 months ago I wrote some code and stuck it on GitHub. The commits there are under my name. And I if I log in and then click on “andrew cooke” (from a commit message) I end up at a page which says “this is you”. So it’s me, I guess. But the “member from” date is Feb this year.
And on that same page it says I have 0 public and 0 private repos. So did I create the repo as someone else? Who? How would I find out and claim it back? Alternatively, am I misunderstanding something in the GitHib interface?
It wasn’t a great project, but it was mine. I am about to start another, but would like to use the same account, and I am confused.
[update: links likely broken as i have used the answer to move the project to my new account]
The repository you linked to is owned by the user ghettonet. The commits are linked to your “andrewcooke” account by email address. Your “andrewcooke” account does not own the
ghettonet/GhettoNetrepository.Did you perhaps create the “ghettonet” account and then forget about it? Have you tried password recovery on that account?
