How to add an alias email which is already used

Question

Hello community,
I want to add an other email to track my work but it says the email is already used by another user.
Actually, I pushed my commits using the email by force from my local repository. So the repository has commits with the email.
However the email is another my email for Git so I want to track two emails on BitBucket.

Thanks for your kindness.

Hi Peter,

I would suggest taking a look at our article below concerning email aliases - you can update your GIT config so that commits will come from that email alias address in your commit history:

* https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/configure-your-dvcs-username-for-commits/

In terms of associating that email alias with your Bitbucket Cloud account itself to map existing commits - if it is already being used by another user account this would not be possible unfortunately. The other account that has the email alias would need to be deleted to free up the email alias for usage.

Cheers!
