Ask HN: Should I stay on my personal GitHub account or move it to an org?

3 pointsby martzcodesalmost 7 years ago
I have a relatively popular site where the code is stored on github and it has &gt; 100 stars. I&#x27;m the primary contributor. While I&#x27;m not looking for jobs at the moment... down the line I feel like keeping the project on my personal github account is more beneficial (to me) than moving it to an organization... but I don&#x27;t know if that&#x27;s important or not.<p>I&#x27;d like to get people more involved in contributing code, but I don&#x27;t want to limit my future job prospects... does it matter? Am I overthinking it?

It is better to stick to your personal account instead of creating bogus organizations. You can start an org once you gathered dedicated contributors to the project.<p>~ Khayri R.R. Woulfe
