Adding an email address to your GitHub account

You can add multiple email addresses to your GitHub account to manage commits and notifications.

Note

  • If you're a member of an enterprise with managed users, you cannot make changes to your email address on GitHub. For more information, see Types of GitHub accounts.

  1. In the upper-right corner of any page on GitHub, click your profile picture, then click Settings.

  2. In the "Access" section of the sidebar, click Emails.

  3. In "Add email address", type your email address and click Add.

  4. Verify your email address.

  5. If you'd like to associate the email address with your web-based Git operations, select it from the "Primary email address" dropdown menu.
