Comment on The Merge Button

Comments

I haven't tried it yet and trying it out would be quite a lot of work (set up a test repo, fork it, send pull request, merge), so I'm asking here first in the hope that somebody has already tried it:

is it possible to select the email address you want to make the merge commit as? My main email address I'm registered with github isn't the address I would want to make merge commits as.

It's not. The primary profile email is used currently:

That's an interesting request though. This isn't the email I have configured in my ~/.gitconfig either.
