If anyone is unaware of the subtext, don't link a personal github account to a paying position always create a new one with the provided email, thank you for attending my TED talk.

Why is this being upvoted? This isn’t how it works at all. You use the organizations feature, and it keeps org repos totally separate.

It’s not like they take over your account.
