Regarding unable to commit the changes in local repository.

[VRonin]

Silly question but did you stage the files to commit?

Try using a GUI client just for git ( https://git-scm.com/download/gui/linux ). I use Git Extensions (but I run Windows)

[Pradeep Kumar]

May i know what is stage the files to commit?.

[jsulm]

@Pradeep-Kumar git add FILE

[VRonin]

git status will also tell you what is staged and what isn't

[Pradeep Kumar]

i used git status command and it showed me list which was not staged and
as @jsulm said i used git add filenames which i modified.

[VRonin]

Then you are done, just call git commit

[Pradeep Kumar]

k i will use the command git commit.
But is their any wrong in the above document which i posted?.

[Pradeep Kumar]

*** Suspicious changes in commit HEAD ( filepath):

---

*** - Suspicious author real name (key "email")

---

*** commit message:
*** - Hint: Aim for shorter summaries

---

*** examples/sql/doc/src/cachedtable.qdoc:
*** - Style issues (key "style")
*** 53: Trailing whitespace
*** 54: Trailing whitespace

*** See http://wiki.qt.io/Early_Warning_System for explanations.

I found this messages after i used git command , where i provided the information.
What does it represent.

[SGaist]

Check the configuration of git particularly the email and name you provided.

The first line of your commit is too long. IIRC It shouldn't be more than 72 character.

The long version of the commit message should be below after one empty line. Note that the line length is still a rule to be followed.

Remove all useless whitespaces you added on lines 53 and 54 of from cachedtale.qdoc

[Pradeep Kumar]

I used the command to check git config --list, below was the contents.

core.autocrlf=input
core.pager=less -FRSX
status.showuntrackedfiles=all
push.default=tracking
rerere.enabled=true
rerere.autoupdate=true
rebase.stat=true
color.ui=auto
alias.di=diff
alias.ci=commit
alias.co=checkout
alias.ann=blame
alias.st=status
user.email=pradeepkm186@gmail.com
user.name=pradeep_kumar.m

Is the configuration wrong?.

[SGaist]

The name is wrong. It's not a "username". When you contribute to Qt it should match the name you used for the Gerrit account. In your case, likely "Pradeep Kumar".

[Pradeep Kumar]

Username pradeep_kumar.m
Full Name Pradeep Kumar.M
Email Address pradeepkm186@gmail.com

this is from Gerrit account.

@SGaist

Commit button is enabled , it was parsing i had to wait for a while.
sorry was being impatient.

Another query is i am getting the below error

Cannot commit 1 file(s):
*** 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 'pradeep@pthinks.(none)')

Please provide further guidance?.
Thanks,

[SGaist]

Did you forgot the extension after @pthinks ?

[Pradeep Kumar]

nope i have given gmail account

git config --global user.name "pradeep_kumar.m"
git config --global user.email "pradeepkm186@gmail.com"

but still y it is not working?.
its taking 'pradeep@pthinks.(none) by default. i have no clue from where.

[SGaist]

For the name it's not pradeep_kumar.m it Pradeep Kumar.M.

As for the email, you have to reset the author of the commit since it was originally done with your other data.

[Pradeep Kumar]

@SGaist

i will give Pradeep Kumar.M as username

As for the email, you have to reset the author of the commit since it was originally done with your other data
but second solution i didnt get it , will u please elaborate.

[SGaist]

Look at the git commitdocumentation for amend and reset-author

[Pradeep Kumar]
