The per-organization email settings is actually the best news out of the bunch - now I can stop checking my personal email so frequently at work.
I'm hoping this feature also fixes the long standing problem with github commits via the web interface (merges and minor edits) using the wrong email addresses in the permanent git history - which always seemed like a huge bug to me.
UPDATE: Nope, it hasn't fixed that. Organization repos still use my default personal email address in the logs even after changing the notification routing.
- swang 14y agoDon't you have to change it in your local git repo by running `git config user.email <email>`?
- akent 14y agoIt works fine when I commit locally (as yes, it's just a normal old git repo) - just via the web UI, it always uses the email in my github account marked as 'default' even though the repo obviously belongs to the organization, not to me.
- runejuhl 14y agoIf you haven't already, you should notify the kind people at Github. They respond within minutes, are friendly, and, most importantly, they actually react on what you write them. Who'd have thought?
- zmjones 14y agoYea I ended up re-writing my commit history to fix this.
