Hi,
starting like 1 or 2 months back I started having issues when using the builtin GIT functionalty of VS Code.
Whenever I would try to commit something I get the following error message in the GIT LOG:
Author identity unknown
*** 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: no email was given and auto-detection is disabled
However when I try to commit using just the GIT commands everything works as expected.
The same is true if I add the identity locally to my respective GIT repo. So the problem seems to come from the interaction between VSCode <-> the global .gitconfig <-> Oracle Developer Tools for VS Code extension.
The same is true when I disable the Oracle Developer Tools for VS Code extension - I can than use the GIT functionalities just fine.
I was able to pinpoint it to the interaction with VSCode and Oracle Developer Tools for VS Code extension:
When I disable ALL extensions the git functionalty of VSCode works and the moment I enable just Oracle Developer Tools for VS Code extension I get the mentioned error.
