ident nonsense

[Dragonlord1005]

So whenever I run this, wether with another tool or by itself i get this error. fatal: Missing > in ident string: Dragonlord1005 <<>> 1637266254 +0000 fast-import: dumping crash report to .git/fast_import_crash_1954 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/bin/ghp-import", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ghp_import.py", line 278, in main ghp_import(args[0], **opts.__dict__) File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ghp_import.py", line 257, in ghp_import run_import(git, srcdir, **opts) File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ghp_import.py", line 192, in run_import pipe.stdin.close() BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Thanks for reaching out. What git version are you on? Does this happen with every repository or with some?

[Dragonlord1005]

I am running git 2.17.1 and it seems to happen with every repository, I am also unable to update git because I am using a coding sandbox site (replit) and they do not allow you to update git.

Given that it happens on every reposting, I’d assume it’s linked to the global git config. Could you share that here too?

[Dragonlord1005]

How would I do that? (Sorry, not super efficient in git itself.)

[c-w]

I believe git config --list should do the trick.

I would assume that user.email=<> could be causing the issue. Could you run git config user.email you@domain.tld and confirm whether the error persists?

Thank you so much! That fixed it!
