Regarding unable to commit the changes in local repository.

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?.

jsulm

@Pradeep-Kumar said in Regarding unable to commit the changes in local repository.:

git config --list

OK, I don't think there is a duplicate. You just have username/email in your global config (~/.gitconfig) and in your project (.git/config). In your project the local username/email are used.

Pradeep Kumar

now i understand after you @jsulm replied.But still how to make Qt creator understand, the user.name and user.email to take it repectively, after when i press commit.

jsulm

@Pradeep-Kumar It is not related to QtCreator, QtCreator just calls Git. Git uses username/email which is currently configured. If you configured them in your project then Git takes them from PROJECT_DIR/.git/config. If you did not then Git takes them from the global config file (~/.gitconfig). Check what is in PROJECT_DIR/.git/config and fix it if it is wrong.

OK, I don't think there is a duplicate. You just have username/email in your global config (~/.gitconfig) and in your project (.git/config). In your project the local username/email are used.

@jsulm is right.

Run these commands separately:

git config --global --list
git config --local --list

Which username/email do you want to use?

@Pradeep-Kumar said in Regarding unable to commit the changes in local repository.:

[user]
name = Pradeep Kumar.M
email = pradeepkm186@gmail.com

If you don't want your local name/email, delete these 3 lines and save.

But still how to make Qt creator understand, the user.name and user.email to take it repectively, after when i press commit.

First of all, make sure you can use git outside of Qt Creator.

Can you commit from the command line? (Command is git commit)
Do you have a git GUI?
