[nixnerd]

cd test
git status

[Erik]

Actually the

erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~$ ls

isn’t really has my real name.. seeing it’s not erik lol so yes it be nice to change it away from my real name.

[Erik]

Again got

erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~$ cd test
erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~/test$ git status
On branch master

Initial commit

Untracked files:
(use “git add <file>…” to include in what will be committed)

test.html
test/

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use “git add” to track)
erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~/test$

[nixnerd]

But this here:

erik-Aspire-7551

That’s your hostname. Ubuntu always makes them super long. I like a nice short succinct host name. I’m thinking about being dave@HAL… which I’m sure @traq would appreciate.

[nixnerd]

Now without going anywhere type git add . Don’t forget the period.

[Erik]

yes there is a erik-Aspire-7551 .. I think

and git add . did nothing

[Erik]

Might I suggest a Skype session so we not have to keep using the forum..?

[Alen]

and git add . did nothing

It did you just didn’t see anything…

[Erik]

it did this

erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~/test$ git add .
erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~/test$

[nixnerd]

That’s correct. You shouldn’t see anything. Now you can commit with:

git commit -m "Commit message"

[Erik]

erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~/test$ git commit -m “Commit message”

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

git config –global user.email “[email protected]”
git config –global user.name “Your Name”

to set your account’s default identity.
Omit –global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got ‘erik@erik-Aspire-7551.(none)’)
erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~/test$

[nixnerd]

Oh shit that’s right. You need to identify yourself. Just follow the directions.

[Alen]

Did you run these two commands?

git config –global user.email “[email protected]”
git config –global user.name “Your Name”

[Erik]

erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~/test$ git config –global user.email “[email protected]”
erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~/test$ git config –global user.name “Your Name”
erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~/test$ ^Mgit config –global user.email “[email protected]”git’ found, did you mean:
Command ‘dgit’ from package ‘dgit’ (universe)
Command ‘qgit’ from package ‘qgit’ (universe)
Command ‘jgit’ from package ‘jgit-cli’ (universe)
Command ‘git’ from package ‘git’ (main)
git: command not found
erik@erik-Aspire-7551:~/test$

[Erik]

I’m so lost right now lol… starting to think this thing not worth the effort.
