I noticed that in my commits to github there is my email address.
I couldn’t find this email address appear anywhere on github, but I was wondering if it could appear anywhere and be crawled by bots for spam?
If so, is that possible to remove the email address and not have it in the commits anymore?
Note: the project is open and public on github (not private repository)
Anyone who clones the git repository will be able to see the email address you made the commit with.
If you add
.patchto any commit URL you will see the raw commit data (including the commiter’s email). For example: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/commit/c8f166f696327d.patch
