Since this enabled the rebase and fast forward button, I used that instead
of manually pushing.

However, a word of warning for others, I messed it up:

`git log --pretty=fuller` shows:

Which is obviously not what we want.

This is because of two things:

* I had assumed Forgejo would import my full name from github when I signed in
  via it. It imported absolutely nothing.
* I had "hide email from public" selected to not have it show in my profile such
  that bots can easily scrape it. That led to the disaster of an email shown above.
  It warns you under the option, but I missed it.

Be warned.
