Question

I\'m new to SmartGit. I can\'t commit through my repository, the message I\'m receiving is:

Unable to auto-detect email address (got \'Arreane@Arreane-PC.(none)\         


        

Answer 1

You can solve the problem with the global solution, but firstly I want to describe the solution for each project individually, cause of trustfully compatibility with most of Git clients and other implemented Git environments:

• Individual Solution

Go to the following location:

Local/repo/location/.git/

open "config" file there, and set your parameters like the example (add to the end of the file):

[user]
    name = YOUR-NAME
    email = YOUR-EMAIL-ADDRESS

• Global Solution

Open a command line and type:

git config --global user.email "YOU@EXAMPLE.COM"
git config --global user.name "YOUR NAME"
