In order to commit your changes GIT requires that you set two variables:
user.name - Your name i.e. “Joe Blogs”
user.email - Your email i.e. mary.Jones@life.com
These can Git requires you give your name and email address 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. 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!
