Subject: git-gui: Warn when username and e-mail address is unconfigured?
Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2008 11:43:15 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0812041141160.9969@ds9.cixit.se> (raw)
Hi!
When using Git on Windows, it doesn't pick up a user name from the
environment, which leads to commits made by git gui (and probably by
git itself) to show up as being made by "unknown <username@.(none)>"
(where "username" is the Windows account name).
Is it possible to add a warning to git-gui the first time a commit is
attempted if the e-mail address is not configured, and have the user
open the configuration dialogue to set up the name properly?
