I am running Fedora 20 which gives me the option to set up Evolution. I do not want to but I still want github to put my real email address on my commits. How do I do this, or will github do this once I set up my account? At the moment, without an account setup, it is defaulting to [email protected]

I do not want to but I still want github to put my real email address on my commits.

The email address is picked up with a git setting and is unrelated to whether or not Evolution is setup.

Run

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

to for git to attribute your commits to a specific email for all repos. If you want only a single repo to be affected, cd to the repo and run

git config user.email "[email protected]"

  • Thanks, this is what I was looking for. This only needs to be ran once, right? It'll apply to all my projects, all commits...
