Push declined due to email privacy restrictions is an error that you may receive if you are pushing code to GitHub.

This error occurs when..

• You have enabled the Block command line pushes that expose my email feature
• You have not set your noreply email as your global or local user.email value in your git config.

To remedy this, run these commands after you have found your noreply email within the GitHub Email Settings.

git config --global user.email "+@users.noreply.github.com"
git rebase -i
git commit --amend --reset-author
git rebase --continue
git push
