@anykate, to remove a follower, I think the current workaround solution is to block that particular user. This should remove the follower from your followers list. Hope this helps |

Curious, why would you want to remove a follower? |

For now GitHub don't have any features releated to this and I don't think they'd ever going to do anything for this, as it's even considered not a feature to remove a follower. But if you want to do that, block a user (they'll be removed from your follower list), and unblock the user after blocking, therefore it will provide the same thing that you've asked. If you don't want that a specific user follows you, block or making profile private are only ways to go. |

I know a few people have mentioned not wanting to acquire a blocked list, but I believe the best option would be to block the user, then immediately unblock them. This will remove the follow, no notifications will be sent, and will effectively solve your issue. I know it would be nice to have something more straightforward (such as an unfollow button), but this is probably the best way to handle it on almost any social platform. I hope this helps! |

The trick is to block the person and unblock. |

yup, just wondering too, if that is just a spam user, then blocking that user makes more sense, that's the workaround by now we don't know whether the requested feature here is included in their roadmap |

+1 for this. I received a wave of (what I suspect to be) fake/spam users following me, of course I can block them but it would still be easier to simply see your followers list and remove them on the spot |

That will be a great feature to have |

Github should allow the account holder the ability to remove follower(s) from their followers list.
I don’t want to see spam Github accounts following my Github profile.
Steps to reproduce:
Github - please action this - Instagram follows the same policy - the instagram user can remove follower(s) from their profile - similar kind of feature is needed here
