A different git problem


  • Subject: A different git problem
  • From: John Brownie <email@hidden>

Since updating to 7.0 and 7.0.1 from 6.4, running 10.10.5, I came to do my first commit, and Xcode complains:

The working copy “xxx” failed to commit files.

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "email@hidden"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'myname@machinename.(none)')

I do those, and still get the same message. Do I need to be in any particular directory when running the commands? Any solutions before I jump ship and start to learn SourceTree?
