Welcome to the GitHub Community, @Tharindu1527, we're happy you're here! You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question in the applicable category and are explicit about what your project entails--giving a few more details might help someone give you a nudge in the right direction. I've gone ahead and moved it for you. Good luck!

@Tharindu1527

"Error adding : email is already in use" - thing this happens possibly someone is using your email address or you have another account has been made before with the email you are trying to add.

• I'm not sure you are trying to add the email to your account or on the 'GitHub student developer pack' application
• Try Add the email address on your account and make it primary email.and try again.
