Showing GitLab profile picture on commits?

Question

I use GitHub's desktop client to push and pull git GitLab, an alternative repository site that allows free private repos.

The issue is, when pushing to GitLab, it's not showing my profile picture as it is on GitLab, and its not linking my name to my profile, but to mailto:email_here ??

Can anyone assist with this.

Answer 1

Check what is your current email with:

$ git config user.email

And set your email with

$ git config user.email "[email protected]"

Note that this will only affect new commits. Past commits will remain the same.
