1,635 PointsI cant commit to git, I get '**Please tell me who you are' everytime
Just started the Ruby course and everytime I try to run this in cmd 'git commit -m "Created a rails app and added status updates' and I just get this message:
*** 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 'David@David-PC.(none)')
but when I try to do the Run command to set my user and email it still doesnt work...
