Migration to organization

[Neustradamus]

Dear @shopizer-ecommerce team,

It is possible to migrate the personal account to organization?

Converting:

• https://help.github.com/articles/converting-a-user-into-an-organization/

It is possible to rename this account and create the organization and move/transfer the repository to the organization.

Rename account:

• https://docs.github.com/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-user-account-settings/changing-your-github-username

Create an organization:

Transfer a repository:

While migrating the account from personal to Organization , there will be a data loss. The repositories will be lost. So best practice is to create a new Organization in the personal account and transfer the repositories into the repositories.
Steps to create organization:
1.Go to settings.
2. Create new Organization.
3. Fill up the details and create.

Transferring repository to Organization:

1. Go to settings in the Repository and scroll down, you will find transfer option.
2. Click on the transfer and fill the details.

@SNA2609: When there is a convert, there is no lost of public repositories.
Only private repositories if it is not transfered before in another place.

Dear @shopizer-ecommerce team,

Have you progressed?

There is no lost, and GitHub adds redirections after a transfer, for example:

• https://github.com/nerzhul/ocsms -> https://github.com/nextcloud/ocsms
• https://github.com/tigaseinc/tigase-server -> https://github.com/tigase/tigase-server
• https://github.com/boothj5/profanity -> https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity
• https://github.com/asciimoo/searx -> https://github.com/searx/searx
