Describe the bug If you have changed your username in the past, you can't join a github classroom repository repo and/or create a new one

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. change your github username
  2. join/create a new repository in a github classrom

Expected behavior User is able to create/join the new repository

Temporary solution for users facing the same problem

  1. Change your current username, to the old username
  2. Join or create the repostitory you want in github classroom
  3. Re-change your username to the one you want

Screenshots You get error : Resource could not be found on github.com image

Could you send me any user logins being affected? I'll sort it out on our end while we're working on a long term fix :)

We used the temporary solution I posted, so no no user is affected right now, thanks!
