Document steps to resolve : remote: error: Your push would publish a private email address.

[TBestLittleHelper]

Maybe we should document this? I say that, since I did spend some time realizing that this is why things failed, and the actual git error is not shown directly in your face. But then again, not sure how many would run into it.

A user could run into it, if they have "Keep my email addresses private" turned on in https://github.com/settings/emails

The fix is to add .env variables in gitpod

It's kinda documented in gitpod here : https://gitpod.io/user/account and you can set the variables here : https://gitpod.io/user/variables So might be fine to not document it in https://lichess-org.github.io/lila-gitpod/contributing/ 🤷

The way I fixed it was create a personal gitpod-dotfiles repo that you can register in your gitpod account and it'll auto run various commands to personalize the environment.

I think it's a good suggestion and we could add it to the docs.
