gitlab错误：尝试推送更改时未知作者

Question

I have this problem from yesterday but can't solve myself. Example my user name is: My Name user id is: my.name This shows following error:

remote: ********************************************************************************        
remote: ERROR: Unknown Author.         
remote: found My Name (name.my)        
remote: Please contact your GIT administrator and/or consult Confluence 

I don't understand why my gitlab id was reverted (my.name --> name.my) while trying to connect to repo. Should I have any changes in config file to solve this problem?

it is a problem of git configuration or about the repository?

Answer 1

Git will use your configured username and email. To check what git thinks your name and email are, use:

git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email

These values need to reflect your remote user (the one in the target git instance). If you need to change either then use:

git config --global user.name "My Name"
git config --global user.email "my.name@example.com"
