Source code not really on GitHub?

Epic Games · GitHub reports 0 public repositories…

That’s because it is not public. You have to pay for a subscription to gain access.

source code is not public, you must be an active subscriber to download latest source code. If you are - you may need to configure your github account on your profile page on https://www.unrealengine.com/

Hey,

You need to link your Github account to EpicGames. Follow instructions here and you’ll see private repository:

Best,

I have my username configured however I cannot see source. Do I need a non-free version of Github account?

6

You do not need a paid Github account. Have you followed instructions noted above?

7

Thanks for quick reply. Yes I have configured my username as mentioned above, assuming it’s my username and not my email login address.

8

Free versions of github accounts should work fine (mine is free). You may need to log out and log back in to github.

9

I do use free Github account. It shouldn’t be e-mail, no. In my case it’s “” written in account-tab. I’m not entirely sure about capital letters and that stuff though. Doesn’t work yet? (I’m assuming you are a paying/active member of unrealengine program)

My username is same as here, no caps or anything. No luck. URL that I see in screenshot is https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine which returns 404 for me and I’m logged in. I am subscribed as of yesterday.

11

There may have been a misfire, tomkrizan is not listed as a member on github page for access. Try clearing github account name on your unreal engine profile, save, then change it to tomkrizan, and see if it works.

12

That would be my only idea for moment as well, let us know if it worked :slight_smile:

13

No luck there, but I tried with a secondary github account and it now works. Thanks for replies everyone.

14

It doesn’t appear tomkrizan is a user on github. https://github.com/tomkrizan is a 404.

15

After I’ve entered my GitHub username into account preferences field I was supposed to, I’ve immediately gained access to source. So, yes, it should work fine for us paying customers.

16

Seems to be something unique to my tomkrizan username then, thanks for looking. I don’t think I’m banned or anything…

17

Yes you need to link your Github username, then you’ll find you have access.

18

I think that will be great that you put an aditional step: you have to receive an invitation in github from EpicGames organization to join it.

ue4 gone free, is it still necessary to be paid member of epic games to get source code from github ?
