If you need to verify your GitHub email address, see "

Commits and tags may contain several email addresses. For commits, there is the author ? the person who wrote the code ? and the committer ? the person who added the commit to the tree. When signing a commit with Git, whether it be during a merge, cherry-pick, or normal
git commit
, the committer email address will be yours, even if the author email address isn't. Tags are more simple: The tagger email address is always the user who created the tag.
If you need to change your committer or tagger email address, see "
Setting your commit email address
."
