Find a GitHub account by email
Search an email address to see whether it has a GitHub account. The same search checks 100+ other platforms at once, so you see everywhere else the address is used too.
What a GitHub result shows
When the address has a GitHub account, the result card shows the account’s username, display name and avatar, with its follower, following and repository counts when the profile shows them.
Developers often keep a separate address for GitHub, so a work address and a personal one can lead to different accounts.
Why look up a GitHub account
- Check which GitHub account a contributor, applicant or contractor actually uses before you give them access to anything.
- Find out whether an address you own is still tied to an old GitHub account you forgot about.
- Put a name and face to an address that turned up in a commit, an issue or a package manifest.

Questions
Can you find a GitHub account by email?
Yes, when the account’s owner signed up with that address. Search the address and a GitHub result appears as a card if there is one, alongside every other platform the address opens.
Will the GitHub user know I searched for them?
No. Nothing is sent to the address and GitHub does not tell its user that someone looked.
Is it free?
Yes. Five checks a day per visitor, shared with Seer’s free check, with no account to create.
What if no GitHub account comes up?
The address may not have a GitHub account, or the account may use a different address. People often keep one address for work and another for everything else, so try both if you have them.
