This page describes how to add one or more email addresses to your git.nrw profile and have notifications sent to them.

When logging into git.nrw via the RWTH Aachen University login, the contact email address stored in the IdM Selfservice is used as the primary email address. This cannot be changed in git.nrw.

It is, however, possible for the notifications from git.nrw to be sent to an alternate email address. To do this, an additional email address must be added to the git.nrw profile and the settings adjusted accordingly.

1. Adding an alternate email address
2. Choosing an email address for notifications

Click on your profile picture in the navigation bar and select “Edit Profile”.
