Git needs correct "who am i" settings for gitlab user
Created by: nathansamson
this became obvious after
bundle exec rake gitlab:app:enable_automerge RAILS_ENV=production
remote: Counting objects: 6, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done.
remote: Total 6 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (6/6), done.
*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
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: empty ident name (for <gitlab@mu.(none)>) not allowed
Everything up-to-date
Done!but was never mentioned on the install instructions
This problem also introduced a lot of other problems for me (complete unworkable program).
I am using git version 1.7.11.7 (fedore core version)
