Find GitHub Email

Find GitHub Email allows you to find any GitHub user's email addresses based on their commit history and GitHub profile.

Check out this post for a little more background on the gem.

$ gem install find_github_email

Find Github Email uses GitHub's API. In order to use Find GitHub Email, you need a GitHub API token 🔑. Fortunately, these are very easy to obtain:

1. 👩‍💻 Visit https://github.com/settings/tokens/new
2. ✍️ Label the token whatever you would like
3. ✔️ Select the read:user box within the user section
4. 🟩 Click the green Generate Token button
5. 📝 Copy your token

Once you have your API token, in a console run

$ find_github_email -g <GITHUB_API_TOKEN>

You will only need to run this command once 🎉. It will store your API token at ~/.find_github_email_access_token, and the gem will always look for it at that location.

After you've followed the installation instructions, you can run:

$ find_github_email <USERNAME>

For example:

$ find_github_email torvalds
torvalds@linux-foundation.org
