Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

When email privacy is enabled/ commit email is enabled on the github with block command line push with primary email. Currently gitpod configure git user with the primary email which leads to GitHub rejects the commit. User needs to be conscious before starting the work, which i feel adds little manual work for the user, and as a user i am not expecting to do that manually as i am enjoying everything is automated for me already.

Describe the behaviour you'd like

When setting up the gitpod workspace with proper author details. In this case instead of primary email use commit email as author email.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively if we have user specific variables, so the git author can be configured via init task.

Additional context
