@steve3p0 it seems like you don’t have your Git configuration set for committing.

Try this:

• From the File menu, select Options to open the options dialog
• Select the Git tab and fill in your name and email
• Click Save to store those settings
• Try committing again

Same issue here. I had to manually click Save on the Git section of the Options panel - even though this was already populated and previously saved. Why there’s a separate Save button for this option is mysterious and confusing because the formatting of the Options panel looks like the Save button should save all options (as one would reasonably expect).

add to .git config(open it as txt) [user] name =" xxx" email = “xx”

Commit failed - exit code 128 received, with output: '*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

git config --global user.email “you@example.com” 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 ‘Wesley@DESKTOP-SKBHBF1.(none)’)

the question now is how did the settings get changed?

add to .git config(open it as txt) [user] name =" xxx" email = “xx”

This works thank you
