When commit using sudo

Sudo because this is a start-up task, monitor by https://github.com/coreybutler/node-mac

Hi, this seems to be a problem with your git setup. Try it manually, and track it down from there.

I do not use OSX personally, but maybe this helps:

Hi @linonetwo, I vaguely recall getting a similar error from git on my server (git-sync needs to be given a username and email address to record as the author of commits git-sync creates). I'm on BitBucket, not GitHub, but I imagine the premise is similar to the following article: Configure your DVCS username for commits

My problem actually comes from the sudo, when I run it without administrator privilege, this won't happen again.

Thank you for your solutions! But I find it tricky to config git for administrator account... So I managed to make my script run as normal user.
