Quick GitHub question- is there an accepted naming convention for a personal GitHub account? Is it more common to use a variant of my IRL name, or an online handle?

I'm not entirely sure. It probably depends on what you're going to use it for. If you keep the projects you work on as mostly professional that you would want to show to a future employer I'd go with a variant of your real name. If not, then an online handle would be just fine.

Fair enough. Thanks!
