There is no way. The conversion is clearly in the danger zone and last time I tried it spelled out the rules quite clearly.

Warning: Before converting a user into an organization, keep these points in mind.

  • You will no longer be able to sign into the converted personal account.
  • You will no longer be able to create or modify gists owned by the converted personal account.
  • An organization cannot be converted back to a user.

But what you can do it create a new user, then transfer your repos back to that user one-by-one, by transferring ownership and closing the organization.

Then, I believe after 90 days you can reclaim the username, unless someone beats you to it.
