Urgent: GitHub Account Recovery Assistance Needed

Body

I am facing an extremely distressing situation with my GitHub account. Recently, I was teaching my brother how to navigate GitHub, specifically how to delete a repository. Unfortunately, in a tragic mistake, he ended up deleting my entire GitHub account instead of just the repository.

This account held all of my projects, each one a product of countless hours of effort and dedication. Every piece of code, every milestone reached, was stored on GitHub. I had relied on this platform as the sole repository for all my hard work, believing it to be a safe haven for my projects. I didn't maintain local copies of these projects on my PC, trusting that GitHub would preserve them.

Now, with the account deletion, I find myself in a devastating position where I've lost everything I’ve worked on. The thought of losing all this hard work is overwhelming, and I’m desperately seeking a way to recover my account and restore these invaluable projects. My GitHub username was rubypoddar.

I would deeply appreciate any assistance in helping me recover my account and the projects that were stored there. This is an urgent matter for me, and I am hopeful that GitHub support can help me through this difficult time.

Hi @abhish-dev,

This community is managed by GitHub employees, but it is not a support forum. The only place to go for answers to account-specific questions like this one is opening a ticket on our Support page.

This is a public forum, and the community is unable to assist with nor escalate your ticket, but we can assure you it is in the right place. It will be answered in the order it was received based on our team's resources and the amount of tickets ahead of yours.

As no other Community Discussions team members will be able to provide additional help with account related questions I am going to close this discussion. We appreciate your understanding!
