How to change the case of my github's username without changing any letter?

I want my username to be displayed as exampleusername instead of ExampleUsername. How can I achieve this ?

Note: When I try with Change username I'm said that exampleusername is already used (of course, by me).

Can I achieve this by moving from "ExampleUsername" to "ExampleUsername298478675675" and then back to "exampleusername" (will it be available ?) ?

Solution

  • Usernames are not case sensitive.

    For example, my username is dinko-pehar . https://github.com/DINKO-pehar also redirects to https://github.com/dinko-pehar .

    For proof, if you try to register as new user, for example DINKO-Pehar, you will get that Username is not available.

    Username

    I can change my name to dinko-pehar123123. And username dinko-pehar will be available to everyone. BUT, I'm not completely sure when changing back to dinko-pehar, what consequences will be. Read this article on Github.
