Can I merge two separate GitHub accounts on CircleCI?

CircleCI allows one connected account per VCS provider. You cannot link two GitHub (or Bitbucket) users to a single CircleCI account.

Overview

No. You cannot link two separate GitHub accounts to a single CircleCI account, and you cannot merge two GitHub identities into one CircleCI user.

The same rule applies to Bitbucket: one connected account per VCS provider on a given CircleCI account.

What you can do instead

Goal

What to do

Use GitHub and Bitbucket (or GitLab) on the same CircleCI user

Connect each provider once under User Settings → Account Integrations

Access more than one GitHub organization

Stay on one GitHub user that is a member of those orgs, or connect additional orgs from the org switcher

Consolidate two CircleCI logins

If your GitHub user is already tied to another CircleCI account, connecting it again fails with an identity-already-associated error. In that case, free the VCS connection from the other account first. See How to Manage Your VCS Connections with CircleCI and delete your user identity.
