Wordpress Vagrant VV - How to setup git?

Question

I am using Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants for Wordpress development. I am able to setup a new site, it works great when I run vv create . However how can I setup git into my wp-content directory?

I've already ran the command git init on wp-content directory and after adding all files, I ran git commit -m "Initial commit" and got this error message:

gpg: skipped "username <username@emails.com>": secret key not available
gpg: signing failed: secret key not available
error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit object

(I removed my personal details from the message)

Any idea what this error is about? I can run git normally on other projects that are not part of Wordpress VVV.

Answer 1

you need a user.name on top of your email. (probably your name is set in your gitconfig on your host machine or the other VM). In vvv VM you can run

git config --global user.name "<name>"

to add your name automatically or edit the gitconfig file
