Untaken 3-letter Usernames on Github
None of these 3 letter-only usernames below are available anymore as of 2021.
However, if you use numbers and symbols, or accept 4 letters, you can definitely find a free one.
Check responsibly. Don't spam the github API/support, it's not a race, there are plenty free if you have imagination.

All 17576000 usernames checked. 0 matches found

there are 49.5k roughly possible usernames. I checked all of them and found ev0, I was still going up to r0e, my list ended with 999 and i added usernames with hyphen in the middle after 999. maybe something will free up soon

a8j
a8w
a9l
...
rxp
r0e

All of these were checked manually if I can change to this username so, maybe this will be pointless for you to check and assume they are trademarked or blocked by github

what's that list again?

python script generated all possible usernames and i added the ones with hyphen in the middle since that is also possible to it via another script. I accidentally deleted it and really any AI can do it. I had to ask it to make it for 1 letters/digits ones, then for 2, then for 3, and then another script for hyphens, they were last but probably the most of the possible ones are with hyphens, my list stopped at r0e it took like 10h to compute up to that and it's good.

So that list contains all the flagged characters as possible but when you try to change into them you can't so maybe you can just start the list from r0e instead of doing all that unnecessary work yourself.

are there yet in 2024, if yes , is it possible to make a script that automates finding them?

a macro yes. just get the list from the message above, and instead of checking names by hand make a macro to check for green color when the username is possible for name change

Use a time machine to go back to early github and grab your name as a three letter combination. That's what I did. ;-) (While you're at it, don't forget to grab some bitcoins...)

Another option: to calculate by ip the owners of short names and “visit” them. For the last time in their lives.
