There are a lot of people (software engineers, open source compatriots, coding warriors) who contribute to programming projects on Github.
You may be interested in a certain someone on Github, and you need to contact them! Recruiters? Potential partners?
This is the surest way to find someone’s email through Github!
- Find the person’s Github username.
- Go to a recent Github project that they’ve contributed.
- Check the link of a commit message.
- Add
.patchto the link, and you’ll see the email they used togit commit.
1) Find the person’s Github username
A little Googling should be fruitful.
2) Go to a recent Github project that they’ve contributed
We check out the user’s Repositories tab. Click on the repository on the top of the list.
Click on # commits.
3) Check the link of a commit message
Click on the most recent Github commit, which is also a link.
The commit link is long and has a hash value at the end.
https://github.com/huyle333/huyle333.github.io/commit/e3db62eb93a71112945fe7319aa01125bc6d10e3
4) Add .patch to the link, and you’ll see the email they used to git commit
At the end of the link, add .patch and refresh the page.
https://github.com/huyle333/huyle333.github.io/commit/e3db62eb93a71112945fe7319aa01125bc6d10e3.patch
You’ll see a new metadata page with an e-mail at the From: section because most users associate their git commits with an e-mail.
Eureka!
