I've gotten a fair few emails to my address used for git commits also. Doubt each recruiter is compiling it manually, but someone must have built a script that cloned git repos and inspected the data, as I don't think GitHub shows it in the UI
> I don't think GitHub shows it in the UI Add `.patch` to the end of the URL when viewing a commit to view the full commit, including user information. E.g., ‘ /commit/ .patch’" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ /commit/ .patch’ .
That's true. you can also put .keys or .gpg on the end of a user profile to get ssh or gpg public keys respectively (also works for GitLab). I guess I've always just considered such routes to be part of the API since they're not linked in the UI
