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

git config --global user.email "put your email address here" # user.email will still be there  
git config --global user.name "put your github username here" # user.name will still be there

Note: it might prompt you to enter your git username and password. This works fine for me.

Answer 2

it's pretty simple but tricky at the first time.
For example:
If my email is mrsuicidesheep@gmail.com type:

git config --global user.email mrsuicidesheep@gmail.com

OR

If my username is mrsuicidesheep type:

git config user.name mrsuicidesheep
