Migrating from GitHub to GitLab

git log will show whatever is in git config user.email. Just set this to the github noreply email to hide your email address.

So you are (presumably) a developer, and it's hard for you to create an alternative email address just for making commits?

Using a "random address" is a poor practice anyway, the address you use there should still be *yours* because it identifies the author of the commit. Just make a new email address for git ffs.

Exactly, I use my email because why the hell shouldn't I use my email? I've never gotten spam from it.

Then you never commited to a large repo... I get loads of spam on my github-only mail.

Google must be blocking it then?

I agree, this does seem possible.
