Body

I have two accounts (@zaygraveyard and @ziadkh0), I would like to rename the former to the latter and vice-versa.
I created @ziadkh0 after @zaygraveyard as a placeholder to reserve the name and one day do this operation (its basically empty).
After the rename @zaygraveyard will serve as a placeholder to inform people of said rename.

What is the best way to do this operation?

Thank you for your prompt reply 😄.

So to summarize:

1. @ziadkh0 -> temp
2. @zaygraveyard -> @ziadkh0
3. temp -> @zaygraveyard

Correct?

Another question, is there a minimum wait time between rename operations on the same account? (In my case the @ziadkh0 will need to be renamed twice successively)

Hey I'm facing the same problem,
Did you rename those account?
If yes, Did you face any issues while renaming?

Not yet, I don't want to mess it up 😰
I created 3 dummy accounts to try the technique above on, but for some unknown reason the "Change username" button is disabled in those accounts 😔

I'm hoping someone from @github can shed some light on the subject🤞
