The ~/.gitconfig didn't exist. I executed git config --global <a href="http://user.name">user.name</a> "Asaf Paris Mandoki" git config --global user.email "<a href="mailto:asafpm@gmail.com">asafpm@gmail.com</a>" and that generated ~/.gitconfig with the format mentioned. The problem I have now is that when I execute git push gitorious@git.sugarlabs.org:physics/mainline.git I get a message saying "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key." and it asks me for a password. I give the password I defined for the key and it prompts me again for the password ad-infinitum. <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jul 12, 2009 at 3:51 AM, Bernie Innocenti <<a href="mailto:bernie@codewiz.org">bernie@codewiz.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">On Sun, 2009-07-12 at 16:14 +0200, Bastien wrote: > You need to have a section with your name and email right in your main > git configuration file (usually ~/.gitconfig) or in the local config > file of the project (~/Activities/Physics.activity/.git/config) : > > > [user] > name = Asaf Paris Mandoki > email = <a href="mailto:asafpm@gmail.com">asafpm@gmail.com</a> </div>You can also make this a setting global by putting it in ~/.gitconfig. -- // Bernie Innocenti - <a href="http://codewiz.org/" target="_blank">http://codewiz.org/</a> \X/ Sugar Labs - <a href="http://sugarlabs.org/" target="_blank">http://sugarlabs.org/</a> </blockquote></div>
