error.GitError: manifests var:
*** 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 ‘tharaka@tharaka-ubuntu14.(none)’)
Solution:
- Goto —> http://www.github.com –> create an account at github ; the account name and the email address you are using in creating the account need to config the git repository.
- Open Terminal and run the following command giving corresponding email and username.
git config –global user.email “you@example.com”
git config –global user.name “Your Name”
Cheers! 🙂
