The error

! [remote rejected] master -> master (push declined due to email privacy restrictions)
 error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]: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:

    1. On github.com, open Emails area.
      Go to https://github.com/settings/emails.
    2. Make a note of your donotreply email ID  in the field Keep my email addresses private.
    3. Open git terminal and enter the following command to set your donotreply email ID: 
      git config --global user.email "<your_donotreply_email_id"
    4. Return recent local commits that failed to be pushed into the repository (using your private email address). 
      git reset --soft HEAD~1
    5. Stage such commitments and push them 
      git add .
git commit –m "<commit_message>"
git push

  2. 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.
