Just use your NIP-05 or your zap address, for now. 🤷‍♀️

Probably just need something with an @ in it. Doubt it'll send you emails, or anything.

Most git services require account confirmation over email. There are solution like burner emails, but is complicated and github/gitlab reject accounts this this. It will be nice if can be done OpenID over nostr or use NIP07 , and use that create/use git service . Maybe nostr relay can support OpenID over nostr/NIP44.

Yes, I meant a self-hosted gitea or something. Git itself uses something-with-an-@ to identify people, but doesn't check authenticity, so NIP-05 seems like a good bug-fix, until we get full Nostr logins on gitservers.

We eventually need a note-writer to overwrite commands like git send-email, and we need a way to figure out who to send the note to, and NIP-05 could help with that and keep everything more human-readable. Could always offer npub as a fallback.

Or we could do

user.name = npubbunchofnumbers

user.email (optional, for a human-readable version) = NIP-05

This would also allow an npub to use the same user.email for multliple npubs.
