Mention workaround.
- It doesn't change commit data when you push. You have to set your local email address to the `noreply` one.

- > If you'd like to keep your personal email address private, you can use a `noreply` email address from GitHub as your commit email address. **To use your `noreply` email address for commits you push from the command line, use that email address when you set your commit email address in Git.** To use your `noreply` address for web-based Git operations, set your commit email address on GitHub and choose to Keep my email address private.

- Instead, GitHub can block pushing commits that contain a non-`noreply` email:
- > ## [Blocking command line pushes that expose your personal email address][2]
- > ##### If you've chosen to keep your email address private when performing web-based operations, you can also choose to block command line pushes that may expose your personal email address.
- > When you push commits from the command line, the email address that you've [set in Git][3] is associated with your commits. If you enable this setting, each time you push to GitHub, we’ll check the most recent commit. If the author email on that commit is a private email on your GitHub account, we will block the push and warn you about exposing your private email.
