Maintenance on the Epic Games GitHub Organization - June 2024

The (really inconvenient and long term unworkable, but temporary bandaid fix that the devs of the project can implement) fix we’ve temporarily done, is create a mirror of our project on the new UnrealEngine-MirrorA developer team

But this isn’t really a reasonable work around for them to expect us to go with, and we only did for our project to have a quick fix for having basic access to our project; it won’t work well for actually working on the project long term

Hey everyone!

The team’s aware of this issue and we’re working alongside GitHub to get a fix in to address this issue. It’s certainly something we don’t want you to be experiencing long term.

We’re terribly sorry about the interruption and will share details as soon as we have an update.

Another consequence of this is that I can’t pull container images from ghcr.io/epicgames

Hope to see some updates here :frowning:

As you all noted in this thread, there’s a limitation on accessing forks of the Unreal Engine repo across organizations. To minimize further disruption to your access, we are going to revert the changes made to the mirrored org and add all current and future members to the original EpicGames org.This change to the invite flow will go into effect later this evening Eastern Daylight time. Users currently in EpicGames-Mirror-A will receive an invite to join the original EpicGames org. And will have full access to its repos, forks, and to submit PR’s.

For now, we will be exploring other avenues to support the continued growth of the community.

While we review alternative paths, in order to prevent performance impacts to the repo and continue providing access to active developers, we’ll be removing accounts with a year or more of inactivity beginning in July of 2024

Inactive accounts are those that have not been logged onto for more than a year, created a fork, or submitted a pull request on Github. If your account is removed due to inactivity, you can always rejoin the org and have full access to the UE repo whenever you are ready for development. To do this go to your Epic games account, and ensure your account is unlinked, then re-link to Github.

Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks!!!

Thanks all for the support

could this mirror a stuff explain why i am unable to access horde documentation? only just linked the accnt, etc…

i did’nt received any invite. could you please send me soon. As my final yr project is fully with Carla and my user name: Sriharish02. Awaiting your early response

So far, I haven’t received an invite link to the new organization, so roughly how long will it take to finish inviting all the members? Thank you very much! :pray:

I haven’t received any invite either. Can you let me know the ETA? Need it urgently. Github username: vignesh-coast

Even I have been waiting for the invite, my github username is sumukh-coast. If you could send an invite, that would be really helpful!

I received the invitation link yesterday, thank you so much and I really appreciate this!

I haven’t received my invite as well. Can you please help me with the same. I have linked my github with epic games but no invite. My github id is guptasamz.

Easiest way to receive the invite is just to unlink your GitHub account and then relink it again. You will receive invitation to the original Epic games org.

Hi everyone,

As part of our ongoing efforts to support the growing Github community, on Monday July 29, we will begin steadily removing inactive accounts from the Epic Games GitHub organization. This gradual process means it may be weeks before some accounts see any changes.

As a reminder, inactive accounts are those that have not

  • Logged in for 12 months
  • Created a fork
    • Regardless of whether it’s of UE directly or of another fork
  • Submitted a pull request

You’re always welcome to rejoin once you’re ready to dive back into development—and we hope you do!

To reconnect your account to GitHub, visit your Epic Games account, remove the GitHub linking, then connect again to be reinvited. Info on linking your accounts can be found here.

I was just removed, yet have accessed UE a few weeks ago.
