If you need to remain anonymous while contributing to Net2Share projects, follow these steps to protect your identity.

Create a dedicated GitHub account for contributing to these projects. Use a pseudonym and avoid linking it to your real identity.

Generate a new SSH key for your anonymous identity:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_anon

Add this key to your anonymous GitHub account at github.com/settings/keys.

Add the following to your ~/.ssh/config file to use different keys for different identities:

Host github
  HostName github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

Host anongit
  HostName github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_anon

When cloning repositories, use your anonymous alias:

git clone git@anongit:net2share/dnstm.git

Instead of the standard URL:

git clone [email protected]:net2share/dnstm.git

Update the remote URL to use your anonymous alias:

git remote set-url origin git@anongit:net2share/dnstm.git

In each cloned repository, set your anonymous identity:

git config user.name "yourpseudonym"
git config user.email "[email protected]"

Go to github.com/settings/emails on your anonymous account and enable:

• "Keep my email addresses private" — Uses your noreply email in web-based operations
• "Block command line pushes that expose my email" — Prevents accidental exposure of other email addresses

Your noreply email address is displayed on this page in the format: [email protected]

By using a separate SSH host alias and per-repository git config:

• You never accidentally commit with your real identity
• Push/pull operations always use the correct SSH key
• Each repository is isolated to use only your anonymous credentials

This setup ensures your contributions remain private and unlinked to your primary GitHub account.
