Merge Contributor Accounts

When you have multiple Git organizations or connections linked to a single LinearB account, it’s common for developers to appear under multiple identities (different emails, usernames, or providers). LinearB initially treats each unique identity as a separate contributor.

To consolidate activity for a single developer, you can merge contributor accounts into one.

To merge contributor accounts:

1. Go to Settings → Company Settings → Users & Teams → Users.
2. Locate the contributor you want to merge.
3. Open the three-dot menu at the end of the contributor row.
4. Click Merge.
5. In the merge dialog:
   • Search for and select additional contributor accounts to merge.
   • The first selected account becomes the primary account.
   • All other selected accounts are merged into the primary account.
6. Confirm the merge:
   1. Review the selected accounts.
   2. Confirm to complete the merge.

After merging, all activity, metrics, and history from the merged accounts are consolidated into the primary account.

Changes may take up to an hour to fully propagate across dashboards and reports.

Post-merge behavior:

• Merged accounts are grouped under the primary contributor.
• Team associations and reporting follow the primary account.
• You can unmerge accounts later if a contributor was merged incorrectly or should be managed separately.
• Historical activity remains associated with the account when it is unmerged.
