Then, do you want to use your real name on GitHub?

While reading we ran into the question “Should I use a pseudonym on my GitHub account?”.
, on git Hub, if you use a pseudonym, you can still always link to that account on your CV, and it will be seen as completely normal. At least unless the pseudonym is something offensive in itself. If you use your real name, you obviously have to be aware that it’s very ease to tie to you.
Should my github username be my name?
No, your user. Name does not matter. However your user. Email should match one of the addresses in your Git, and hub settings. Git config –global user. Email “YOUR EMAIL” You can also keep your email private.
Another thing we wondered was is my Git username the same as my GitHub username?
The Git username is not the same as your Git, and hub username. You can change the name that is associated with your Git commits using the git config command. The new name you set will be visible in any future commits you push to Git. Hub from the command line. If you’d like to keep your real name private, you can use any text as your Git username.
Should I use my GitHub account name or email address?
The first implies that one should use their proper name, the second is unclear. However, the Git. Hub page also has the following to say: We use the email address to associate your commits with your Git, and hub account.
You can use your proper name, username or whatever identifier you’d like for user., and name. It will be logged in each commit along with your email address, commit message and various other details. And you’re exactly right about how Git. Hub uses the email address. Good luck with git! You’re on the right track with Pro Git. Show activity on this post.
