Hi, I was trying to commit something to my local repository when I had this issue pop up:

Commit failed - exit code 128 received, with output: '*** 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 'User@DESKTOP-O9NT6PU.(none)')

I had read previous posts here and tried to enter
git config --global user.name "Spaceball55"
but this didn’t do anything and the error persisted.

One reason that I am confused is just earlier this week I had no issues committing and pushing to remote repo, but now I can’t even commit to local repo. Any help appreciated!
