GH username with uppercase in it doesn't work

Update: workaround available, see #4 (comment)

---

It look like TwilioQuest is currently not handling GH username with upper case letters in it correctly. I (@ApolloZhu) made this pull request twilio-labs/open-pixel-art#3047 but as you can see in the screen shot, Twilio Quest doesn't think so:

I tried to redo the entire quest (twice) and making sure I typed in my GH username with correct casing, but it gets changed to lowercase automatically:

This is the case for these quests:

• Author Your Contribution / The Flame of Open Source (workaround: GH username with uppercase in it doesn't work #4 (comment))
• Open a Pull Request / GitHub Hoodie (workaround: GH username with uppercase in it doesn't work #4 (comment))

(Also it would be great if someone could merge my two accounts (Apollo Zhu and ApolloZhu) so I won't accidentally be participating twice I just realized the 2 won't have the same achievements and the rules permits situations like this?, so no rush about merging, but merging them will still be appreciated.

The entry limit is We have four categories of winners and each participant can be entered in each category one time.

Yes, in the current situation I only qualify for each category once.

Any attempt by any you to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different accounts, identities, registrations, logins, or any other methods will void your entries and you may be disqualified.

1. I didn't realize resetting game data will create two accounts on TwilioQuest
2. I'm only using one GitHub account, @ApolloZhu
3. I reset the game data for filing this bug report, not for trying to obtain an unfair advantage

Oof, that is a bummer, I guess our string comparison logic is automatically downcasing usernames. We will look to get a fix out today.

Before this is fixed, Ryan Kubik#9022 on discord pointed out that you can manually edit TQ_GITHUB_USERNAME in TwilioQuest. Go into Settings, Variables, and click the Unlock "button" (kinda hard to find, see screenshot below), then you change your username to correct casing:

A fix for this will land in release 3.1.41 - it should show up as a release candidate in the next few minutes in the Launcher, and will be the new stable version in the next day or so!
