Add an email address

Add an email address to your account. g1t emails it a link to confirm it; until then it cannot be primary and does not sign you in.

POST/user/emails

Adding an address you added before and have not confirmed sends the link again. An address another account has confirmed cannot be added. An account has at most 10. Needs your account password; your confirmed addresses are told. People only.

Answers 403 with code reauth_required when password is missing or wrong, and 409 when another account has confirmed the address. The new address stays unconfirmed until its link is followed.

Authentication: Required. Send an access token as Authorization: Bearer.
MCP tool: add_email, with the same inputs

Body parameters

Send a JSON object. Names are snake_case, as in responses; the camelCase spelling is accepted too.

Name	Type	Required	Description
`email`	string	Yes	The address to add.
`password`	string	Yes	Your account password, to confirm it is you. An account that signs in only with GitHub changes its addresses on g1t.sh.

Example request

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

    "password": "…"
  }'

401	`unauthenticated`	A token is required, or the one sent is not valid.
403	`forbidden`	The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository.
404	`not_found`	It does not exist, or you cannot see it.
409	`conflict`	The request conflicts with the current state.
422	`invalid`	The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why.
