Every Git commit identifies you with an email address. You can keep your personal email address private by using username@users.noreply.github.com for commits you make in the browser or push from the command line.

Warning: If you use your username@users.noreply.github.com address to make commits and then change your username, those commits will no longer be associated with your GitHub Enterprise account. For more information, see "What happens when I change my username?"
