In this case, you can change the email in your local Git configuration settings and add the new email address to your account on {% data variables.location.product_location %} account to link future commits to your account.

1. To change the email address in your local Git configuration, follow the steps in "[AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-email-preferences/setting-your-commit-email-address#setting-your-commit-email-address-in-git)". If you work on multiple machines, you will need to change this setting on each one.
