Error: push declined due to email privacy restrictions - how to solve it?

Question

The error

! [remote rejected] master -> master (push declined due to email privacy restrictions)
 error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:FranckFreiburger/vue-resize-sensor.git'
 
 
 git did not exit cleanly (exit code 1) (3838 ms @ 12/04/2017 21:23:11)

occurred when I pull my commits on GitHub. I've tried to fix it for some days but have not resolved it yet. Can someone suggest a relevant solution to fix the push declined due to email privacy restrictions issue? Much appreciate your support.

The cause: It occurs the Error: push declined due to email privacy restrictions because you are not permitted to push a commit to the remote repository since doing so might expose your private e-mail address. Solution: Do it this way:

On github.com, open Emails area. Go to https://github.com/settings/emails.
Make a note of your donotreply email ID in the field Keep my email addresses private.
Open git terminal and enter the following command to set your donotreply email ID:
```
git config --global user.email "
```


 	Return recent local commits that failed to be pushed into the repository (using your private email address).

git reset --soft HEAD~1

 	Stage such commitments and push them

git add .
git commit –m ""
git push

This could be caused by a new GitHub Setting that blocks command-line pushes that expose email addresses.

You can uncheck the "Block command-line pushes that expose email" box in your mail settings, and then push again.

There are 3 options:

1. You can uncheck Keep my email addresses private from your GitHub E-mail Settings.

2. You can hide your e mail from repositories by using GitHub's noreply email address.

Because you have email privacy enabled, will be used for account-related notifications as well as password resets.

34661293+aslancan32@users.noreply.github.com will be used for web-based Git operations, e.g., edits and merges.

git config --global user.email ""

3 You can also use your business email or public email to create your repositories. m****@business.com

git config --global user.email ""

After applying your setting, I recommend running reset header code:

git reset --soft HEAD~1

push your repository again
