Experiment: Is it possible to use [ORCID](https://orcid.org/) in the git commit author log, rather than a fluctuating and emantically unresolvable email address?

# Recommended

```

git config --global user.name http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718

git config --global user.email [email protected]

```

If the email address is recognized, GitHub will show it like 'your' user, but will replace your ORCID with your user name:

If the email address is not recognized, then the author field from the commit (aka your ORCID) will show, but won't be clickable:
