Hello everyone , i hope youre all doing well , i have a question concerning a github account that i had , so basically someone got into my gmail and reseted the password of my account and also removed the linked email in it , and now i dont have any access to that account, is it possible to get that account back or there is no solution for this issue?

In these kind of cases you should contact Github by proving your identity and then you can get back everything.

Technically, there's no other option since is an issue based on getting hacked**
And then you have to prove that youre the owner.

anyway maybe these could help you.
