In this video, I will show you one simple trick to hack GitHub and find anyone's email.
What if I told you, that if you have ever committed a single line of code to GitHub, I can hack GitHub and find your email. Well I can, and in this video I will show you how to hack GitHub and find anyone's email. I will also show you hw you can protect yourself and hide your email from people trying ot use this GitHub hack.
To be honest, you don't actually hack GitHub to find someone's email. Instead, you look at the commit patch by appending ".patch" to the end of the commit URI. By adding ".patch" to the end of the commit URI, you will see the email that was used to commit the code to GitHub.
To protect your email from the GitHub hack. Simple go into your account settings, select the "Emails" menu item, and then check the box that says "Keep my email addresses private". Once you click this box, your private email will no longer be used in your future commits.
