Change your username ​

Your username identifies you across CodeSoh. It appears in URLs, such as the URL of a repository that you own in CodeSoh Artifex, and other people use it to share things with you.

Change your username ​

To change your username, follow these steps:

  1. Open Profile.
  2. In the Username section, click Change.
  3. In the New username field, enter the username you want.
  4. In the Your password field, enter your password.
  5. Click Change username.

The change takes effect right away, and a message goes to your email address. A username uses lowercase letters, digits, and single hyphens between them, and is 3 to 32 characters long. Some usernames are reserved, and a username that someone else holds can't be taken. The change appears in your activity.

What happens to your old username ​

Anyone can claim your old username as soon as you change it. CodeSoh doesn't reserve it for you.

Repository URLs that your builds already use continue to work. A repository at https://artifex.soh.gg/maven/OLD_USERNAME/REPOSITORY/ still serves dependencies and accepts deployments after you change your username.

Replace the following:

  • OLD_USERNAME: the username you used to have
  • REPOSITORY: the name of one of your repositories

A URL stops working only when whoever claims your old username creates a repository with the same repository name. That URL then serves their repository; your other repositories at the old username continue to work. We recommend updating your build files to your new username.

Links to your profile page at the old username don't redirect.
