Unknown User Name Error (Git)

Go Up to Git Integration in the IDE

Git uses the user name and the e-mail address that you set up in every Git commit. If you try to commit changes without setting up a user name and an e-mail address, you get the following error box:

Unknown user name

To set up your user name and e-mail address:

1. Tools > Options > Version Control > Git
2. Enter the user name and the e-mail in the corresponding fields.
3. Click the OK button.
