## Changing your username
Your `username` is a unique [`namespace`](../group/index.md#namespaces)
related to your user ID. Changing it can have unintended side effects, read
[how redirects will behave](../project/index.md#redirects-when-changing-repository-paths)
before proceeding.
To change your `username`:
1. Navigate to your [profile's](#profile-settings) **Settings > Account**.
1. Enter a new username under "Change username".
1. Hit **Update username**.
CAUTION: **Caution:**
It is currently not possible to change your username if it contains a
project with [Container Registry](../project/container_registry.md) tags,
because the project cannot be moved.
TIP: **Tip:**
If you want to retain ownership over the original namespace and
protect the URL redirects, then instead of changing a group's path or renaming a
username, you can create a new group and transfer projects to it.
Alternatively, you can follow [this detailed procedure from the GitLab Team Handbook](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/tools-and-tips/#how-to-change-your-username-at-gitlabcom)
which also covers the case where you have projects hosted with
[GitLab Pages](../project/pages/index.md).

## Current status
> Introduced in GitLab 11.2.
You can provide a custom status message for your user profile along with an emoji that describes it.
This may be helpful when you are out of office or otherwise not available.
Other users can then take your status into consideration when responding to your issues or assigning work to you.

1. Open the user menu in the top-right corner of the navigation bar.
1. Hit **Set status**, or **Edit status** if you have already set a status.

## Commit email
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/21598) in GitLab 11.4.
A commit email, is the email that will be displayed in every Git-related action done through the
GitLab interface.
You are able to select from the list of your own verified emails which email you want to use as the commit email.
To change it:
1. Open the user menu in the top-right corner of the navigation bar.
1. Hit **Commit email** selection box.
1. Select any of the verified emails.
1. Hit **Update profile settings**.
### Private commit email
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/22560) in GitLab 11.5.
GitLab provides the user with an automatically generated private commit email option,
which allows the user to not make their email information public.
To enable this option:
1. Open the user menu in the top-right corner of the navigation bar.
1. Hit **Commit email** selection box.
1. Select **Use a private email** option.
1. Hit **Update profile settings**.
Once this option is enabled, every Git-related action will be performed using the private commit email.
In order to stay fully annonymous, you can also copy this private commit email
and configure it on your local machine using the following command:
```
git config --global user.email "YOUR_PRIVATE_COMMIT_EMAIL"
```

## Troubleshooting
### Why do I keep getting signed out?
When signing in to the main GitLab application, a `_gitlab_session` cookie is
set. `_gitlab_session` is cleared client-side when you close your browser
and expires after "Application settings -> Session duration (minutes)"/`session_expire_delay`
(defaults to `10080` minutes = 7 days).
When signing in to the main GitLab application, you can also check the
"Remember me" option which sets the `remember_user_token`
cookie (via [`devise`](https://github.com/plataformatec/devise)).
`remember_user_token` expires after
`config/initializers/devise.rb` -> `config.remember_for` (defaults to 2 weeks).
When the `_gitlab_session` expires or isn't available, GitLab uses the `remember_user_token`
to get you a new `_gitlab_session` and keep you signed in through browser restarts.
After your `remember_user_token` expires and your `_gitlab_session` is cleared/expired,
you will be asked to sign in again to verify your identity (which is for security reasons).
