Are you the guy I’ve been trying to contact for months? Is this why the person with a single repo is never active?
Having multiple accounts is against their TOS
“One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well, that’s fine, but it can only be used for running a machine).”
Which is absolutely stupid. I should be able to separate my work commits from my personal commits.
That said in practice, I’m guessing this is only enforced if they detect you abusing their services.
Work commit are not supposed to be made with a free account. This only says that you can’t have multiple free accounts.
what’s the rationale of creating a new account? Just for using a pseudonym, or something else?
I think the use case is simply separating your professional code from your personal code. I don’t need interviewers seeing my throwaway projects.
Yup. Officially, last I checked, GitHub encouraged people to use a single account for everything. But I wish they’d at least let people create multiple “personas” on the same account, along the lines of “Notorious Open Source Hacker Alias” vs “Random Code Monkey On Corporate Gig”.
For me, it’s contributing to open source projects that are for NSFW things, stashdb specifically.
