## Git identity for contributions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before pushing commits, verify that Git is configured with an email address that GitHub can associate with your account:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
git config user.name
|
||||||
|
git config user.email
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is especially important when commits are created through agentic coding tools or automation, because those tools may not inherit your normal shell Git configuration. Avoid placeholder values such as `your@email.com` or localized template text; unresolved author emails can create avoidable provenance and SBOM review friction for downstream users.
