I installed VS Code (version: 1.12.1) and after that I installed Git (version: 2.13.0.windows.1) on Windows 10 machine. Then:

  1. I created an Asp.Net project (img 1)

  2. I open it in VS Code, went to Source Control and clicked Initialize Repository (img 2)

  3. I tried to commit changes (img 3).

  4. And I saw this error message (img 4).
  5. Then I made sure that git was the provider (img 5)
  6. I went to the settings.json and override the git Path (img 6), by default it was set to null. But it doesn't solve the problem. I created another app from scratch and the same error message is shown.

Here is the Git Log Output:

    Start by configuring your email and name using git config as suggested in the log Commented May 14, 2017 at 0:23
  • Thank you very much! He heh. I am new to using Git, and I had fear of log outputs, but when I read what you said I understood that is very simple. Next time I'll read the logs without fear! Thanks! Commented May 14, 2017 at 1:57
  • Your welcome. Does it work as it should now? Commented May 14, 2017 at 2:01
  • Yes! I set the user.email and user.name as global and now even when I create a new project I don't get that message error again. Commented May 14, 2017 at 11:47
  • If I decide to change the email and name can I run this commands again, whether as global or just for a specific project (omitting --global)? In this case, it will override those values, right? In the new project's folder, I ran: git config user.name "Lucas". Are there any commands that show me the current values for email and name? Anyway, thanks for helping. You held a lot!

From above comments:

Read the log outputs from Git. Configure your user email and user name. One way to do that is to open command prompt. Then navigate to your folder using cd FILEPATH. Then configure your user email and user name. It can be configured globally or only within the current repo. Configure globally with

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

then

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
