.gitconfig is ignored #4

Closed ymettier closed 7 years ago

ymettier commented 7 years ago

Hello,

Problem

My .gitconfig file is ignored. So I get this message :

$ git commit -m "my message"            

*** 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: unable to auto-detect email address (got XXXXX)

Solution

alias git=docker run ... -v ~/.gitconfig:/root/.gitconfig ...

However, this works only for those who already have a .gitconfig file in their home. For me, it worked.
