Git error committer email address

The infamous "committer email address" error in Git!

This error typically occurs when you're trying to commit changes to your Git repository, but Git is unable to find or use your email address as the committer's email address. Here are some common reasons and solutions:

Reason 1: No email address set in your Git configuration

To fix this, you need to set your email address in your Git configuration file. You can do this by running the following command:

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Replace [email protected] with your actual email address.

Reason 2: Incorrect or outdated email address in your Git configuration

If you've already set your email address in your Git configuration file, but it's incorrect or outdated, you'll need to update it. Run the following command:

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Replace [email protected] with your updated email address.

Reason 3: Email address not set in your Git repository

If you're working on a Git repository that's not connected to your local machine's Git configuration, you'll need to set your email address in the repository's configuration file. You can do this by running the following command:

git config user.email "[email protected]"

This will set your email address for the current repository only.

Reason 4: Email address not set in your Git commit template

If you're using a Git commit template, you may need to update the email address in the template file. Check your .git/hooks/commit-msg file (or equivalent) and update the email address accordingly.
