Question

I am new to bitbucket, git and sourcetree. i created a repository on bitbucket, then i installed the sourcetree client for win 7, then i clone that repository with my local desktop folder, then i placed a file in the local folder, now when i try to commit the changes, sourcetree give me following errors.

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false commit -q -F C:\Users\shahjahan_khokher\AppData\Local\Temp\vrkvrvyu.uba

* 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 'shahjahan_khokher@shahjahan_khokh.(none)')

Completed with errors, see above.

The easiest way to solve the issue with your identity without using Git Bash is to set it in SourceTree directly: -

1. Got to menu: Tools -> Options
2. On the general tab fill in the Full Name and Email address fields
3. Click the OK button
4. Commit your files :)
