Introduce yourself to git

When on new system, you might get such message when trying to perform a push/pull git command:

Author identity unknown

Please tell me who you are.

Run

git config –global user.email "you@example.com"

git config –global user.name "Your Name"

In my case that would be:

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

You will get prompted for a password.

There are multiple ways to get that password:

• write your git password manually each time
• authenticate with personal access token
• authenticate with ssh
