Check if a username is available on GitHub

Type a name to see whether it is free on GitHub, a creative platform. Free, no sign-up: Nomok also checks 70 other platforms and domain names at once.

How Nomok checks GitHub

Nomok queries GitHub live and tells an existing account from a free name using the platform's response (page or public API). The result is reliable, but a free name can still be reserved or banned by GitHub's rules.

Naming rules

Up to 39 characters: letters, numbers and single hyphens, not at the start or end.
