title: How do I verify a GPG key with my commit email address on GitHub?
body: <p>When I try to add a GPG key that uses my GitHub provided commit email address, it gives me an error that the email address is &quot;Unverified.&quot; How should I fix this?</p>
  <p>I followed the <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/generating-a-new-gpg-key" rel="noreferrer">guide on GitHub for generating a GPG key and adding it to your account</a>, which says:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Note: When asked to enter your email address, ensure that you enter the verified email address for your GitHub account. To keep your email address private, <em><strong>use your GitHub-provided no-reply email address</strong></em>. For more information, see &quot;Verifying your email address&quot; and &quot;Setting your commit email address.&quot;</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>See this screenshot that shows the error:</p>
