That page having following text ----> ******@gmail.com

Just one more thing

To complete this sign-in, you also need a Microsoft account. We'll create the account ******@gmail.com and link it to your GitHub credentials.

Choosing Next means that you agree to the Microsoft Services Agreement and privacy and cookies statement.

    This is the normal GitHub-to-Microsoft account-linking page; select Next only if you want Microsoft to create a personal Microsoft account using the displayed Gmail address and link GitHub as a sign-in method.

    Microsoft checks the email addresses associated with your GitHub account:

    • If one matches an existing personal Microsoft account, GitHub is added as a sign-in method for that account.
    • If no matching Microsoft account exists, selecting Next creates one and links it to your GitHub credentials.
    • If it matches a work or school account, you may instead be prompted to sign in to that organizational account. ^1^

    After linking, you can use Sign-in options → Sign in with GitHub, or enter the linked Gmail address and be redirected to GitHub. The Microsoft and GitHub accounts remain separate; linking them does not give Microsoft access to your GitHub repositories. Repository access requires separate permission. ^1^

    This process creates a personal Microsoft account. It does not by itself create a Microsoft 365 subscription, transfer billing, or create a work/school account. Personal Microsoft accounts are used for consumer services such as Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, and Xbox; organizational accounts are issued by a school or employer. ^2^

    If you did not intend to create or link a Microsoft account, do not select Next—return to the previous page or close the sign-in window.
