Description

On recent GIT versions, trying to use git without specifying a default user name and emails gives you this result:


*** 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 'user@localhost.(none)')

We need to initialize this properly.
