      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.
