Quoting from a very early part of http://git-htmldocs.googlecode.com/git/gittutorial.html It is a good idea to introduce yourself to Git with your name and public email address before doing any operation. The easiest way to do so is: ------------------------------------------------ $ git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here" $ git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.example.com ------------------------------------------------ HTH
