Unable to auto-detect email address

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

If you are using sourcetree: Repository -> Repository Settings --> Advanced --> uncheck "Use global user settings" box

worked great for me.

Answer 2

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"

Answer 3

Just type like "correct" case

"wrong"

git config --global mike.email "mike@gmail.com"
git config --global mike.name  "mike"

"correct"

git config --global user.email "mike@gmail.com"    
git config --global user.name "mike"

user.name is your account name in git-hub user.email is your email when you sign in git-hub.

Answer 4

With SmartGit, you can also edit them by going to Project > Repository settings and hitting the "Commit" tab (make sure to have "Remember as default" selected).

Answer 5

Try the following steps,

1. Open command prompt and then run
2. git config --global user.email "YOU@EXAMPLE.COM" // put your email address press enter
3. git config --global user.name "YOUR NAME" // put your name

Answer 6

Ran the sample of these commands:

git config --global user.email "focus1@gmail.com"

git config --global user.name "focus1"

Footnote:

focus1@gmail.com === email address used to login to your github account.

focus === your github username
