Use this interactive demo to learn how to locate your GitHub username in just a few clicks.

Quick summary

Your GitHub username is the unique identifier used to log in and represent your account across the platform. You can find it quickly by navigating to your profile page via the top-right avatar menu.


Steps

  1. Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner of the GitHub dashboard.
  2. Select 'Your profile' from the dropdown menu that appears.
  3. On your profile page, locate your username displayed directly beneath your profile picture.
  4. Note that your GitHub username is also what you use to log in to GitHub along with your password.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to find your GitHub username is an essential first step for developers, students, and teams using GitHub for version control and collaboration. Your GitHub username is your unique identity across repositories, pull requests, and integrations — making it critical for account access, SSH key setup, and third-party app authentication. This quick walkthrough eliminates confusion for new users and ensures anyone can locate their credentials without navigating through unnecessary settings. Whether you are onboarding to a new team or connecting GitHub to an external tool, finding your username in seconds keeps your workflow uninterrupted.
