Changing Github Username?

SUPPORT QUESTIONS
1

I’ve just signed up for tailscale via Github SSO to test it and see if it works for my usecases, it does look like i’ll be using it in the future.

However, I’ve also been planning for a while to change my github username. Seeing as my github username is linked to my tailnet + other things, how will this impact the tailnet i made? Will it be possible to change that, or will it not recognise this?

Right now, it will break when the GitHub account is renamed and tell you that support can fix it. The coordination server is halfway through the change for github logins using strings to switch to github logins using UIDs. It has both, checks both, and needs a human to intervene when one doesn’t match.
