Error on update: "Please tell me who you are." ?

[Richard238]

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 ("):

1. git config --global user.email "Richard238@hotmail.com"
   

2. 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.
