How to Set GitHub User Mapping
Step 1: Match Emails Across Platforms

Step 2: Use Additional Email (if needed)
If a user cannot match their primary email across GitHub and Easy8:
- Go to the user profile in Easy8

- Enter the user’s GitHub email address there
This ensures the system can still link activity from GitHub to the correct user in Easy8.
