In my case, the easiest thing for me to do would be to add all of my addresses to my GitHub account, but I can't validate all of those, as I have commits associated with email addresses (e.g., [email protected]) that haven't existed for years.
I'm not familiar with the .mailmap file format. I want to make my "canonical" email address "[email protected]", and map all of my old email addresses to be associated with that. Can someone please tell me what I need to enter in the .mailmap file to do this? (Followup question: Once I've done this, since GitHub knows that " [email protected]" is associated with my account, will it count my commits made under my old email addresses in the "contributors" graph?)
