I am unable to get HACS because Github will not let me create an account with my email.
Error message is:

"We're unable to create an account with this email address. Please try again with a different email, or view troubleshooting steps for assistance."

However, it does not say why and it does not show how to fix. Troubleshooter does not help. This a personal email that I have used for years. Ultimately, I am trying to get Sonoff devices into HA. I am using Home Assitant Green hardware.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This isn't HA related, so I'm not really sure we can help. Maybe GitHub is having a temporary issue, but likely you're just going to need to use a different email address like it says

The only other person who’s had this issue (that DDG and google know about anyway) tweeted @github and has since deleted all their posts
