GIt Git requires that give your name and email address to label your commits. Each Iguana X User will need to add their Author Info the first time they login.
You can pick anything you like but it’s best practice to pick an email address that your cloud host will recognize if you want to be able to trace your commits in that cloud host. Cloud host providers like Bitbucket and Github will try and match the email address to known users.So it is best practice (but not mandatory) to pick an email address and name which is recognized by your cloud host account.See Git for how to configure your cloud host access in Iguana.
Each user’s Author Info is also what is used to Identify your Iguana so if you have problems we can help you!
