Github linking issue

Development Programming & Scripting

Hi,

I am unable to link my github account to epic games profile. I got the email saying “you have added github association…” but not the second one which, I presume, contains a verification link.

Is there a work around or if someone can help?

Thanks!

I second this, tried all working examples previously in forums and checked settings etc. Think this issue has popped up again if anyone can help us.

Hi,

I have the same problem. Since this morning I have been trying to link but with no success like you. I received the association email from Epic but no email from Github to join the EpicGames organization.

Hello, I’ve also been trying for the past 2 days. I’ve tried everything I can find to no avail…

Same problem. Two day.

I FINALLY was able to get the proper invitation email with the link to join the Epic Games GitHub community!

Here’s what I did:

Used Internet Explorer 11 (version 11.309.16299.0) after failing multiple times while using Chrome.

  • Went to “Epic Account” page → then “Connected Accounts” page
  • Cleared “GitHub Account Name” box (I clicked inside the box, then clicked the “X” that appeared)
  • Clicked “Save Changes” button
  • Refreshed page (to ensure the connected GitHub account name was properly cleared)
  • I typed in my GitHub account name into box (didn’t copy & paste!!!)
  • Finally, I clicked "Save Changes"

.

After that, I received the invitation email nearly instantly

My best guess would be that either the switch to Internet Explorer OR the typing of my account name by hand (INSTEAD of copying & pasting the account name) is what fixed the problem for me.

(also seems capitalization on GitHub account name does matter, but clicking Save Changes will then change it to all lower-case… this DOESN’T matter and it only matters if you get an error saying that the GitHub account name doesn’t exist when you click “Save Changes”)

I’ve had it work on two separate accounts that I was having issues with! (initially created a second set of Epic & GitHub accounts after the first accounts didn’t work)

I hope this works for everyone else having issues, best of luck!
