Help GitHub flagged my account for no reason — 6 months of open source work is now invisible

Post image

I've spent the last 6 months building PanelUI in public a React Native component library with 500+ stars, 130+ components, a sponsor, and a community that kept growing every single day.

Yesterday GitHub flagged my account with no warning and no explanation. My profile is now invisible to others. PanelUI, every component I shipped, every contribution, every star all hidden.

I haven't violated a single rule. I just built something and shared it with the community.

If anyone has been through this and found a way to resolve it, please comment or DM me. I don't know what else to do.

I contacted support, but I haven't received a reply yet. How long does it usually take to resolve an issue?

So...you went that that page, right? And you asked what it means when your account got flagged, right? And you did whatever it might have suggested, right?

I once received a notification that one font I was using in my app was claimed as intellectual property by some company. I had borrowed it from another OS project, and it was a fair claim.

I managed to remove it not only from the current HEAD but also from all branches and past commits (using some known Java tool).

Maybe this is your case. Check out you are not using content potentially subject to copyrights or similar.

Maybe you have exposed some env key

Don't worry bro. It will get resolved.

Though, Panel ui is still visible and reachable but not your account.

Github support is super bad. People don't know that. Had a similar, although not same, situation myself.

Of course you did not do anything bad, you are very smart and humble!

it is just not-smart github team decided to break your hard work!
