Regarding unable to commit the changes in local repository.

Pradeep Kumar

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

guys can u help me out, unknowingly using the command git rm has removed the files from qt source code. how can i get the removed files?.

SGaist

See this post.

Searching for undo git rm would have gotten you the answer faster.

Pradeep Kumar

I have two queries

regarding the Local Setup
Host codereview.qt-project.org
Port 29418
User <pradeep_kumar.m>
IdentityFile <~/.ssh/id_rsa_keynamehere>

is this the correct information in config file.?.

as i have gmail id for all 3 accounts, forum account, gerrit account,bugreports account, for corporate profile do we need to register with company id.?. is that giving me the problem. I am asking the question because i used

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

for configuring , but getting the below error and the fatal error shown in bold.?.

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)')

SGaist

Again: user.nameis not a username it is your name
You have to get the author of the commit correctly also.

AFAIU, your account is registered with your pthink email so use that one for your commits.

If you have several projects on your computer and that you are using different identities to handle them, then configure git locally by project.

Pradeep Kumar

k @SGaist i will change the user name and use my company id Pthinks id,

and was the information correct in Config file?.

SGaist

Which config file is it exactly ?

Pradeep Kumar

config file where we will configure for Local setup

Regarding the Local Setup

Host codereview.qt-project.org
Port 29418
User <pradeep_kumar.m>
IdentityFile <~/.ssh/id_rsa_keynamehere>

where we will create config file in .ssh path.
The information in config file, Host, Port, User and IdentityFile isit correct?.

SGaist

Remove the < and > characters and replace id_rsa_keynameherewith the correct id_rsa file name.

Pradeep Kumar

I changed the config file

Host codereview.qt-project.org
Port 29418
User Pradeep Kumar.M
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

And if i try to commit again 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.

I changed the user name and still did i miss anything?.
