Git stash fails when user.name and user.email are not set

Question

Closed this issue 11 years ago · 2 comments

On a fresh pi, git stash failed because user.name and user.email were not set in the git config.

When doing a stash, git wants to store the user with the stash and fails.

Most users will probably not have this set up, because they only pull. We need to catch this error and offer an easy way to configure the settings.

I will tackle this in 5 days, once my current ferment is complete :)
