Code of Conduct
What article on docs.github.com is affected?
https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/setting-your-username-in-git
https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/how-tos/email-preferences/setting-your-commit-email-address
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
The documentation on setting commit email addresses
(https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/how-tos/email-preferences/setting-your-commit-email-address)
doesn't clearly emphasize that git config user.name must ALSO be set for commits
to show your username and profile on GitHub.
Users following the email setup guide end up with unattributed commits if they
haven't already configured user.name. The docs should explicitly mention that
BOTH user.name and user.email are required for proper attribution.
