email privacy

Hi! regarding the part of signing in to github and dotfiles. I just discovered that the name and email, specified in the "gitconfig" is being used to sign commits, even in public repos. Would it be considered a useful warning for people to know that the full name and this email might be shown publicly at some point? if they create or contribute to a public repo, for example.

or also implement this posibility? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7372970/git-commit-with-no-email/71542189#71542189

When contributing to github, always use the anonymous noreply email address provided by github - which you can find here: https://github.com/settings/emails (have to tick "Keep my email addresses private" to see it).

gitconfig looking like this:

[user]
    name = Joe Blogs
    email = [email protected]
