Visual Studio - Git User Information

Question

I'm having some issue's with Visual Studio and Git. It keeps prompting me to set my user information, but when I try to do that it doesn't allow me to. Resulting in endless prompts, very annoying.

Any idea on how to set these credentials in Visual Studio? As I can commit/pull/etc just fine with the terminal or Visual Studio Code. Only Visual Studio seems to be having this problem.

I use Visual Studio Online as Git provider.

Answer 2

Looks like Visual Studio will prompt this message as long as your git name and email are not set.
Just set them through cmd or git bash:

git config --global user.name "YOUR_NAME"
git config --global user.email "YOUR_EMAIL"
