How to reject / remove yourself from a (shared) GitHub repo?

Question

GitHub allows other people (or fake accounts, spam bots, etc.) to add you as an interlocutor in the repo without any approval. This leads to an annoying long list of repos full of half-spam (unknown people add me to their projects, GitHub processes these projects, such as my own repositories), it is very inconvenient when working with GitHub 9hrs per day.

Is there a way to remove myself from projects that have “added” you?

Answer 1

You should check this https://help.github.com/articles/removing-yourself-from-a-collaborator-s-repository/

As they say there:

In the user panel in the upper right corner of any page, click the gear

In the left sidebar, click Repositories.

Next to the repository that you want to keep, click Leave.

click "I understand, leave this repository"

Hope this helps!
