I use both GitHub and GitLab and their respective private email address features. This means, however, that I have two different commit email addresses that can't be set globally.
When creating a new repository, previously I would have to set
user.email manually, but something like
5616307+genderquery@users.noreply.github.com is a bit hard to
remember.
Using what I learned from Project specific git author, without the gas pains,
I created an alias that will set the user.email config setting to the appropriate value:
git config --global alias.github 'config user.email "5616307+genderquery@users.noreply.github.com"'
git config --global alias.gitlab 'config user.email "3369804-genderquery@users.noreply.gitlab.com"'
Now when starting a new project that I plan to host on GitLab, for example, I can run the following commands to get things started:
git init
git gitlab
