Git Configuration

Set a custom commit author email for your sessions in Blocks

Overview

By default, Blocks uses [e-mail] as the commit author email when making changes on your behalf. You can override this with your own email address at Dashboard → Settings → Git.

This is a per-user setting — it only affects your sessions and does not change how other workspace members’ commits are authored.

Setting your commit email

1. Go to Dashboard → Settings → Git
2. Enter the email address you want to use for commits
3. Save

All new sessions you start will use this email as the commit author.

GitHub considerations

PR approvals

If you want to ensure that PRs opened by Blocks are reviewed by another team member, enable “Require approval of the most recent reviewable push” in your GitHub branch protection rules. That setting prevents the author of the most recent push from approving the PR themselves, so another organization member must approve.

Vercel build previews

Setting your commit email to an email in your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket organization allows Vercel to create build previews for PRs opened by Blocks.
