GIt Git requires that you give your name and email address . You can pick anything you like but it’s best practice to label your commits. Each IguanaX User will need to add their Author Info the first time they login.

Best practice is 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.
