Description
While researching how to fix the issue of git commits not being authored #21 & #12 I stumbled up on:
https://help.github.com/articles/about-commit-email-addresses/
If you'd like to keep your personal email address private, you can use a GitHub-provided no-reply email address as your commit email address. To use your noreply email address for commits you push from the command line, use that email address when you set your commit email address in Git. To use your noreply address for web-based Git operations, set your commit email address on GitHub and choose to Keep my email address private.
If you haven't enabled email address privacy, you can choose which verified email address to author changes with when you edit, delete, or create files on GitHub. If you enabled email address privacy, then the commit author email address cannot be changed and is username@users.noreply.github.com by default.
This might be a good idea for avoiding Spam and Phishing ... 🤔
