GitHub uses your commit email address to associate commits with your account on GitHub.com. You can choose the email address that will be associated with the commits you push from the command line as well as web-based Git operations you make.

Note: You cannot verify email addresses from disposable email address services (services that allow you to receive email at a temporary address that expires after a certain time). If you'd like to keep your email address private, you can use a GitHub-provided noreply email address. For more information, see "Setting 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.

You can also choose to block commits you push from the command line that expose your personal email address. For more information, see "Blocking command line pushes that expose your personal email address."

To ensure that commits are attributed to you and appear in your contributions graph, use an email address that is connected to your account on GitHub.com, or the noreply email address provided to you in your email settings. For more information, see "Adding an email address to your GitHub account."

Note: If you created your account on GitHub.com after July 18, 2017, your noreply email address for GitHub is an ID number and your username in the form of ID+US...@users.noreply.github.com. If you created your account on GitHub.com prior to July 18, 2017, and enabled Keep my email address private prior to that date, your noreply email address from GitHub is USER...@users.noreply.github.com. You can get an ID-based noreply email address for GitHub by selecting (or deselecting and reselecting) Keep my email address private in your email settings.

If you use your noreply email address for GitHub to make commits and then change your username, those commits will not be associated with your account on GitHub.com. This does not apply if you're using the ID-based noreply address from GitHub. For more information, see "Changing your GitHub username."

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 or merge a pull request on GitHub. If you enabled email address privacy, then the commit author email address cannot be changed and will be a no-reply by default. For more information about the exact form the no-reply email address can take, see "Setting your commit email address."

You can use the git config command to change the email address you associate with your Git commits. The new email address you set will be visible in any future commits you push to GitHub.com from the command line. Any commits you made prior to changing your commit email address are still associated with your previous email address.

Add the email address to your account on GitHub, so that your commits are attributed to you and appear in your contributions graph. For more information, see "Adding an email address to your GitHub account."

You can change the email address associated with commits you make in a single repository. This will override your global Git configuration settings in this one repository, but will not affect any other repositories.

Currently, it seems this can be done only per-repository, where you're a repository administrator. You can add a username alias in each repo, linking yourself to:
Your Name
as it appears in your raw commits. This method should work without needing any email confirmation. You may need to wait some minutes or hours until it's updated.

But it would be great if you could just link a GitHub account to Bitbucket Cloud and have that email automatically associated with you everywhere, like suggested. Atlassian could also advertise the feature, to motivate people to transition to Bitbucket.

In Bitbucket, you'll need to confirm the email address you enter as an alias. If that email address is not an email you have access to, you won't be able to use it as an alias. This is explained to Set email aliases.

Alternatively, if you use a Gmail account, you could create a new alias such as 'yourname+bitbucket@gmail.com' as explained here. If you have a different email provider, it might be worth checking if they offer options like that one so you can have different email addresses for different purposes, all based in your primary one.

I realise the reasons why email verification is usually a good idea, but given that a lot of github users will have set their git email as the github noreply address, it's somewhat inconvenient to have those show up as un-owned on bitbucket.

Given that we can link our account to github, it should be possible to recognize and automatically authorize any email addresses in the [randomnumber]+[githubUsername]@users.noreply.github.com format.

@Ana Retamal Is there any chance Tom's suggestion could be implemented? I've got repos I imported from github in bitbucket, and now my only solutions are to not claim the email for my contributions or always have a popup saying my github no-reply email hasn't been confirmed.

One important place to check is any Git host you use. In your Git configuration, you must provide an email to serve as an identifier for your commits. Can I just provide a bogus email to GitHub and be done with it then?

According to GitHub, if you want to ensure that commits are attributed to you and appear in your contributions graph, then you should provide an email address associated with your GitHub account in your Git configuration. If this is not important to you, then provide whatever you want!

This will remove your public profile email. A noreply email address is generated for you. It is 3703647...@users.noreply.github.com for me. Now, this noreply email address is used when performing web-based GitHub operations (e.g. edits and merges) and when emails are sent on your behalf.

If you want to check it works as expected. Push a commit to a repo on GitHub and go to that commit on the website. You can add .patch to the URL and you will see a summary of the metadata of the commit (as below). Check the From field.

Creating a PyPi account by going to =register_form and send an email topr...@libcloud.apache.org requesting to be added as a maintainer toapache-libcloud package.Make sure to select a strong and unique password (pwgen -s 48 1 is yourfriend).

We use Github for managing issues and user contributions (pull requests). Assuch, you need to link your Github.com account with your ASF account usingGitbox. This way you will get writeaccess to github.com/apache/libcloud repository and you will be able tomanage issues and pull request directly through our Github repository.

When a pull request with user contribution (changes) has been reviewed andall the criteria for merging has been met (tests and code coverage, Travisbuild is passing, user signed an ICLA, etc.), you can directly merge thosechanges into trunk either by using Github web interface or doing it manuallyon the command line.

Update __version__ attribute in libcloud/__init.py__ file and indicatewe are now working on a new release by incrementing a number and adding -devsuffix. For example, if version 2.2.1 has been released you would changeit from:

This section outlines steps which need to be completed by new team members andis indented for people who have been voted to join Libcloud project as acommitter and / or PMC member. It also assumes you have already filledyour ICLA and your Apache account has been created.
