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.

@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.comIf 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?
- Can you commit from the command line? (Command is
-
I ran two commands separately
Both gave me the user.email different.
i have deleted locally and retained global username/emailI used the following commands.
-
git add filename.
to add the file which was modified. -
git commit
*** - Suspicious author real name (key "email")
*** commit message:
*** - 2nd line is not empty (key "log")
*** See http://wiki.qt.io/Early_Warning_System for explanations.
I got the following messages.And i am not using any gui git.

Even if i delete global name and email, i have used local name and email, but still i am getting previous error?.

*** - Suspicious author real name (key "email")
Maybe it doesn't like the dot (
.
) in your name. What happens if you set your name to just "Pradeep Kumar"?*** commit message:
*** - 2nd line is not empty (key "log")The system wants you to leave a blank line in your commit message.
-
I removed dot and kept second line empty.
Same result as previous.!!!!!! -
Did you reset the author in your commit ?
-
I used the following command :
root@pthinks:~/qt5# git commit -C --reset-author "Pradeep Kumar pradeepkm186@gmail.com"
fatal: could not lookup commit --reset-author
??? -
I used the following command :
root@pthinks:~/qt5# git commit -C --reset-author "Pradeep Kumar pradeepkm186@gmail.com"

???@Pradeep-Kumar said in Regarding unable to commit the changes in local repository.:
git commit -C --reset-author "Pradeep Kumar pradeepkm186@gmail.com"
You've mixed 2 different commands together...
Choose one of:
git commit --amend --author "Pradeep Kumar <pradeepkm186@gmail.com>"
ORgit commit --amend --reset-author
(after you have set user.name and user.email, either locally or globally)
If it still doesn't work, post the full error message and the last entry of
git log

First i used git add filename being in my project folder then ,
I have used the command git commit --amend --reset-author after setting my name and email locallly.
After this i used the command git log .I got the below

and i have given the message for which i fixed the bug.
After this what has to be done?. guide me further.

"Updated submodules" ?
What exactly are you trying to do for a submission ?
-
I modified one of the file in qtbase submodule.
After i added the filename which i modified.
then i tried git commit --amend --reset-authorIs it wrong?.
-
Then you should explain clearly what you modified and why.
The first line of the commit is a small summary of what the patch does, then leave a blank line and after that explain precisely what your patch is about. Take a look at other submissions to see how it's done. Not all patches requires tons of description but it should always be clear what it does.

I explained the purpose in one line and left one line blank and provided the report no:

OK, there are 2 issues here:
-
You have modified an existing commit which was written by someone else: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/159622/
- First, backup all the files you've changed. Then, restore the original commit by calling
git reset --hard HEAD~1
and then callinggit pull
.

-
You are in the wrong git repository. This is not qtbase.git!
- Call
cd qtbase
to enter the qtbase.git repository.
- Call
And i am not using any gui git.
You should. It makes life much easier.
Inside qtbase, call
git gui
to launch the GUI. Click Repository -> Visualize All Branch History. Now, explore the repository: Click on other peoples' commits and study them. (You can see the changes they made, and you can read their commit messages)After this what has to be done?. guide me further.
What do you want to do?
Your topic says "unable to commit the changes in local repository". Can you commit changes to your local repository now? If yes, then please mark this thread as "solved". If not, tell us what issues you are facing when you try to commit changes to your local repository.
If you want to push your changes to the Qt Project, please start a new forum thread. That is a different topic.

Sorry for that ,
-
list item I was trying not to commit remotely, trying to commit locally.
-
And i have downloaded git-cola. for gui.
*And i revoked back to original commit and used the command git pull.
I will follow the steps as mentioned in the previous post of this topic,
Thanks,

You can't commit remotely, all commits are local. You can push remotely however you don't have any write access to Qt's repositories. Nobody has, you must pass by the code review process.

After the gap i am taking again the qtsource code.
even if i now add file which i modified using git add filename
and use git commit in terminalroot@pthinks:~/qt5/qtbase# git commit
*** 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 'root@pthinks.(none)')
root@pthinks:~/qt5/qtbase# git commit*** 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 'root@pthinks.(none)')
Previouly it used to open a editor to fill the description of what has been changed and task no , now directly i am the error.

@Pradeep-Kumar You get this error because Git does not have user name/email. I don't know what you did recently, but for some reason user name/email disappeared. You need to do what the error message tells you. In general you should read about Git as this issue is completely unrelated to Qt.

K but when i used git config --local --list , user name and email is present.
Even if name is present , will it show error?.
And we need to rely on git?.
