Incorrect misattributed warning for incorrect Git config no-reply email address

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

I setup a no-reply email address and now GitHub Desktop is warning me about my commits being misattributed although the docs say that shouldn’t be a problem.

Version & OS

Version 2.9.3 (arm64) macOS 11.6

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Setup a no-reply email address according to these instructions

Expected behavior

GitHub Desktop should be aware of no-reply email addresses so no misattributed warning should show.

Actual behavior

The misattributed warning appears in GitHub Desktop. My no-reply email address doesn’t appear in the dropdown of addresses to choose from, implying that the app is completely unaware of the address.

I’m surprised (but glad) that worked! 😂

In any case, thanks for reporting back! ❤️
