Hi,  
I want to change my Github username, but since I log in with Github to FCC I’m worried it might affect this - can anyone confirm?  
My email is saved in the FCC settings.

It shouldn’t affect anything. Just go to [freecodecamp.com/settings](http://freecodecamp.com/settings) and click “update my account from GitHub” and it should update your freeCodeCamp username as well. Let me know if you have any further issues with this 🙂
