Hi Kirk,
I think it is also now in the privacy setting in GitHub for anyone who wants to
keep emails private. [https://github.com/settings/emails :
https://github.com/settings/emails ]
This setting is needed for web based git operations like squash merging PRs etc.
In GitHub:
"Keep my email addresses private
We’ll remove your public profile email and use
nabarun...@users.noreply.github.com when performing web-based Git operations
(e.g. edits and merges) and sending email on your behalf. If you want command
line Git operations to use your private email you must set your email in Git."
Regards
Nabarun

Subject: Setting your commit email address
Please make sure you've setup your commit email address. It makes it much
easier to find out who committed something and how to contact them if there's a
problem.
You typically use the following to set your email address globally in git:
$ git config --global user.email "em...@example.com"
You can also setup different repos with different email addresses by using:
$ git config user.email "em...@example.com"
In the below example, it's much easier to follow up with the author of the 1st
commit than the author of the 2nd commit:
commit b1107d2e403404337c22830a4964eefc2490ef50
Author: John Doe <j...@pivotal.io>
