Regarding unable to commit the changes in local repository.

Pradeep Kumar

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?.

SGaist

In that config file it's your username that you should provide.

For the user.name it's your name as in your identity card name.

Pradeep Kumar

Its the same name Pradeep Kumar.M

can u tell me how to configure the git step by step. so it will help me , i do know what mistake i did and how to trace it?. solution will help me.

SGaist

You have detailed guides in the wiki:

Pradeep Kumar

Hi,

It will be the repeatation, but still provide the information where i missed, sorry for asking again and again, the same questions. But i am not getting , in my previous post under this topic i have provided the steps which i followed. is it correct?. Because one step is pending to commit, i am trying my best to understand what is wrong. As you @SGaist told i will once again follow and repeat the procedure.

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

Can you call this command again and post the latest contents? (Make sure you are in your project folder when you call the command)

Pradeep Kumar

Pradeep Kumar

Now i see , their is two user.name and user.email, beacuse of this is it causing the problem ?.Help is required how to make having one user.name and user.email. and config properly. Please guide further.

jsulm

@Pradeep-Kumar You can remove the duplicates from .git/config file manually using any editor

Pradeep Kumar

I tried to find two user.name and user.email in config file. but i found their is only one user.name and user.email. how to go further. how to remaove another.

I used the command git config --list outside the project folder.
This was the result.

root@pthinks:~# git config --list
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=pradeepk@pthinks.com
user.name=Pradeep Kumar.M

Is this impacting the .git/config file?.
