Description
Steps to Reproduce
- Have a Github account with a repo, and email is private
- Clone a repo
- Do any modification or add
- Stage and commit in Git tab
- Click the push Button on bottom right
- Error message shown:
Push rejected
The tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart. Try pulling before pushing.
To force push, hold cmd or ctrl while clicking.
- The same push from git command line:
Enumerating objects: 14, done.
Counting objects: 100% (14/14), done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads
Compressing objects: 100% (8/8), done.
Writing objects: 100% (8/8), 4.44 KiB | 4.44 MiB/s, done.
Total 8 (delta 6), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: Resolving deltas: 100% (6/6), completed with 6 local objects.
remote: error: GH007: Your push would publish a private email address.
remote: You can make your email public or disable this protection by visiting:
remote: http://github.com/settings/emails
To github.com:<GitHub_username>/<GitHub_repo>.git
! [remote rejected] master -> master (push declined due to email privacy restrictions)
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:<GitHub_username>/<GitHub_repo>.git'
To resolve this error if anyone else encounters: source git config --global user.email "no_reply email found in github account settings" git rebase -i git commit --amend --reset-author git rebase --continue
Eventually the push is working from Atom now.
Expected behavior:
Have the exact error message that git is throwing:
- remote: error: GH007: Your push would publish a private email address.
- ! [remote rejected] master -> master (push declined due to email privacy restrictions) error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:<GitHub_username>/<GitHub_repo>.git'
Actual behavior:
Push rejected
The tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart. Try pulling before pushing. To force push, hold cmd or ctrl while clicking.
Reproduces how often:

I think I saw a similar issue when I tried pushing a file too large for github (not realising that was a problem). Rather than report that problem I got the

response, which sent me off trying to figure out how my repo got corrupted.
Would be better if the error messages passed through to atom git integration were a more accurate reflection of the actual problem
It seems to be the default error message that's just shown regardless, I got it with the email privacy rejection mentioned above, as well as just now with github rejecting my push due to my personal access token not having the workflow scope.
