Good morning, all right?

I'm testing a networked git server. I created the repository on a network server, the settings are ok from one of the development machines, since I was able to use all git commands without problems, add, commit, push and etc.

But on another machine, I get the title error:

unable to auto-detect email address (got 'email @ domain. (none)')

Searching here I found a similar post and with the same error but, it was to Git Hub itself and in my case it does not help, or at least I believe not.

What would be the cause of the error then?

git

You need to define the email that will be used by git to apply commits, using the user.email variable.

You can use the following command to define:

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

And, taking advantage of it, set the name too:

git config --global user.name "Seu Nome"
