If a GitHub account gets locked or suspended, GitHub usually detected something that triggered an automated or policy review. Unfortunately, they often do not provide detailed public reasons immediately.

Common causes include:

Spam-like activity (mass follows, stars, forks, or automated actions)
Using scripts/bots that violated API or platform rules
DMCA/copyright complaints
Security concerns (compromised account, suspicious login activity)
Terms of Service violations
Payment or billing issues (for paid plans)
False positives from automated systems

For your account:
0xbrew GitHub Profile

the best recovery path is through GitHub Support.

How to recover the account

1. Contact GitHub Support immediately

Use:
GitHub Support Contact Form

Choose:

“Account issues”
“Account suspended or locked”

Include:

Username: 0xbrew
Approximate time it was locked
Whether you used automation tools or GitHub Actions heavily
Ask specifically for:
reason for lock
account restoration
access to repositories/data backup
How to recover your projects
If repositories were public

Your repos may still exist temporarily even if the account is suspended.

Try direct repo URLs:

https://github.com/0xbrew/repository-name

You may still be able to:

clone repos
access cached versions

Also check:

forks
collaborators’ clones
local copies on your PC
Check local git repositories

On your computer, your projects are probably still there.

Look for folders containing:

.git

You can verify with:

git remote -v

If the code exists locally, you can push it to:

a new GitHub account
GitLab
Codeberg
Bitbucket

Example:

git remote set-url origin NEW_REPO_URL
git push -u origin main
Check email notifications

GitHub often sends:

suspension notices
security alerts
DMCA complaints
recovery instructions

Search your inbox for:

from:github.com

especially:

support@github.com
noreply@github.com
Important

Do NOT create many new GitHub accounts rapidly to evade a suspension. GitHub can suspend those too if they consider it ban evasion.

Instead:

Appeal properly
Export local projects
Wait for support response
