Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
Error on update: "Please tell me who you are." ?
-
Trying to apply the latest updates:
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ git pull && npm install
*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email “you@example.com”
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: empty ident name (for ) not allowed

Check this out:
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup
Read under “Your Identity”You need to do two commands and change everything that is in quote marks ("):
-
git config --global user.email "Richard238@hotmail.com" -
git config --global user.name “Richard Doe”
Does that makes sense? I had some trouble too at first

Ah, OK, seems simple enough.
But why has this not been an issue before with previous MM updates?Thanks.
