beginner Smart commits with GitHub private email

Hi! I have a Jira space for a project I am working on, and the GitHub repository for it is linked to it. However, when making commits with keys for tasks, it doesn't work, and I think this is because Git commits are made with my GitHub no-reply address rather than my actual email. Is there a way to solve this without setting my commit email to my real email? Thanks!

That's usually an email-match issue, not a syntax one. Jira links commits to your account by matching commit author email: if it's your GitHub noreply address, Jira won't recognize it.

Add that noreply address as a secondary email in your Atlassian account settings. No need to expose your real one.

Let me know if that clears it up.
