fatal unable to auto-detect email address got none none

0 votes

Hi Guys,

I am getting this below error, when I tried to add at staging area.

$ git commit linux.txt  -m "First commit"
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in linux.txt.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory
*** 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 'None.(none)')

How can I solve this error?

Hi@MD,

When you installed git in your system first time, you have to set your user name and email. You can set your credentials using the below given command.

$ git config --global user.email "email_id"
$ git config --global user.name "user_name"

Hope this will help.
