Migration to organization

[Neustradamus]

Dear @cwgit team, @dghgit,

It is possible to migrate the personal account to organization?

Your project can not have a personal account but an organization and it is free.

You must to respect GitHub TOS:

• https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service#3-account-requirements

You have two possibilities:

• Converting
• Rename / Create an organization / Transfer repositories (no lost, redirections are here)

For me, it is better to convert, you have already a personal account.

Important to know, there is no lost, and GitHub adds redirections after a transfer, for example:

• https://github.com/libreswan has been converted
• https://github.com/exiftool has been converted
• https://github.com/redorescue has been converted
• https://github.com/nerzhul/ocsms -> https://github.com/nextcloud/ocsms
• https://github.com/tigaseinc/tigase-server -> https://github.com/tigase/tigase-server
• https://github.com/boothj5/profanity -> https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity
• https://github.com/asciimoo/searx -> https://github.com/searx/searx

Thanks in advance.

Converting:

• https://help.github.com/articles/converting-a-user-into-an-organization/

It is possible to rename this account and create the organization and move/transfer the repository to the organization.

Rename account:

Create an organization:

Transfer a repository:

• https://help.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/transferring-a-repository

Like:

• http://github.com/gnome
• http://github.com/kde

I'll put it on my list, I think I can move cwgit (although there is one paperwork issue I need to check first). Please note this repository was set up before organisations and before the T&Cs were changed.
