git config --global user.email no@email.invalid
And git happily accepts the value, yet the result is not useful to anyone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.invalid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.invalid).
Or, just edit your .gitconfig by hand after adding an email and change the value there to whatever you want.
- jerven 7y agoJust use fake@example.com. Example.com etc are special domains that are easy to spot as not going to work.
- nfoz 7y agoThanks, I didn't know about the `invalid` non-TLD. I've been using example.com. Still, it seems inappropriately opinionated for git to tie in and require an identifier on a specific communication mode, even if we can come up with fake emails. And I dislike the extra bits of reduced anonymity (eg "correlate pseudonyms by which fake email they all use")
