Problem

GitHub deployments fail on a Vercel Hobby account despite being a single-user setup.

Current Behavior

My Vercel account is under a workspace: “Abhi’s projects (Hobby)”. GitHub deployments fail with the following error:

Error: The deployment was blocked because GitHub could not associate the committer with a GitHub user. Hobby teams do not support collaboration.

  • CLI deploys (vercel --prod) work fine.
  • I am the only user on this account.
  • My GitHub email is verified and matches my commit author.
  • There are no other collaborators on the GitHub repository.

Expected Behavior

  • Use Vercel as a single-user personal Hobby account.
  • GitHub integration should allow automatic deploys on push.

There are no other collaborators, I’m not on any team. It’s just me. There are no collaborators attached to this repo on GitHub.
