I have app servers that I bootstrap together using Chef some ad-hoc bash scripts The problem is when I want to run an update on one of these app servers I get 19 00 28 Please tell me who you are Run git config --global user email you example com git config --global user name Your Name Do I really need to set this for doing a simple git pull origin master every time I update an app server Is there anyway to override this behavior so it doesn t error out when name and email are not set

I spent lots of hours on it when I call PHP script to init and commit to git And I found the work flow should be as git init git config user name quot someone quot git config user email quot someone someplace com quot git add git commit -m quot some init msg quot If you swap 23 and 1 the config will not work at all I wish this will do some help

Git: "please tell me who you are" error

I spent lots of hours on it when I call PHP script to init and commit to git. And I found the work flow should be as:

git init
git config user.name "someone"
git config user.email "[email protected]"
git add *
git commit -m "some init msg"

If you swap [23] and 1, the config will not work at all.

I wish this will do some help.
