Blocking command line pushes that expose your personal email address

If you've chosen to keep your email address private when performing web-based operations, you can also choose to block command line pushes that may expose your personal email address.

When you enable this setting, each time you push to GitHub, we’ll check the most recent commit. If the author email on that commit is a private email on your GitHub account, we will block the push and warn you about exposing your private email.

  1. No canto superior direito de qualquer página do GitHub, clique em sua imagem de perfil e, em seguida, clique em Configurações.
  2. Na seção "Access" da barra lateral, clique em Emails.
  3. Para manter seu endereço de email privado ao executar operações do Git baseadas na Web, selecione Manter meus endereços de email privados.
  4. To keep your email address private in commits you push from the command line, select Block command line pushes that expose my email.
