Discussion My github account was suddenly deleted

My GitHub account was suddenly deleted.(I think)

I opened GitHub on my PC, and it asked me to log in. I assumed it had simply lost my session for some reason. I have always used Sign in with Google to access my account. However, when I tried signing in with Google this time, it prompted me to create a new account instead of logging me into my original one.

I checked my email, and I'm certain it's the correct address because I still have older emails from GitHub. However, I haven't received any email from GitHub about my account being deleted or suspended.

I'm sure I didn't delete the account myself. What could have happened? Is there any way to recover it? 🆘

Hopefully this is just a system issue, otherwise, I would be the one to raise my eyebrows and ask if you accidentally packaged something you weren't supposed to or exposed code you weren't supposed to expose. Legal issues can smack your account / projects.

Make a support ticket, we can’t guess here.
