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 ------------------------------------------------
