Maintaining ownership continuity of personal GitHub repositories @GitHub

You can invite someone to manage your user owned repositories if you are not able to.

Successors

It is recommend to invite another GitHub user to be your successor, to manage your user owned repositories if you cannot. As a successor, they will have permission to:

• Archive your public repositories.
• Transfer your public repositories to their own user owned account.
• Transfer your public repositories to an organization where they can create repositories.

Successors cannot log into your account.

An appointed successor can manage your public repositories after presenting a death certificate then waiting for 7 days or presenting an obituary then waiting for 21 days. For more information, see “GitHub Deceased User Policy.”
