Solution: Github “Please tell me who you are” error

Today I come with the quick solution of an issue when trying to commit the file to GitHub. Now I am using git for version control and allow you to save copies of the code to there, till now I was using SVN and TortoiseSVN for committing my WordPress plugins which you can find here.

I also have a public repository of my own on GitHub for my module in Joomla.

I am unable to commit to git, I get ‘**Please tell me who you are’ every-time.

git commit -m "resolved #1 testing of commit with message and issue id" phpinfo.php

When try to commit the file to GitHub, got following error message.After I search in google, found that the problem I had that needs to pass my email addresses for different Git repositories.

*** 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: empty indent  not allowed

The solutions I found to this problem is I have Run the following command to set my user and email

git config --global user.email "test@youremail.com" 
git config --global user.name "Bhumi Shah"

and this solved my problem.Hope this article helpful to someone.
