Well  the message is pretty much self-explanatory  You did not tell git what your name and email address is   Open a command line and type   git config --global user email  you example com  git config --global user name  Your Name    Of course you should enter your real name and email  Afterwards git knows who you are and is able to insert this information in your commits   Seems like smartgit does not add the git binary to your path  You have to add its path to the PATH environment variable or first change to the corresponding directory  You can find a screencast here  http   blog dragndream com  p 97

You can solve the problem with the global solution  but firstly I want to describe the solution for each project individually  cause of trustfully compatibility with most of Git clients and other implemented Git environments    Individual Solution   Go to the following location   Local repo location  git    open  config  file there  and set your parameters like the example  add to the end of the file     user      name   YOUR-NAME     email   YOUR-EMAIL-ADDRESS    Global Solution   Open a command line and type   git config --global user email  YOU EXAMPLE COM  git config --global user name  YOUR NAME
