How to see contributor's email address on Git commit chain?

I can't see how to email a contributor on github after lengthy attempts, and google searches. Why does every beginners guide encourage us to immediately configure our user.email such that it is sent with every commit if its so difficult to view the contributors' email addresses on the commit chain in GitHub?

Solution

  • You can use

    git log

    or 

    git show [commit number]

    Output:

    commit 5f3be67saki52cv80l0e4f55c05ec897de3sdgt67
Author: someone <someone@mail.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 23 17:10:48 2017 +0100
