it then popped up a terminal to do it but I don't have my linux machine set up right so it returns an error "unable to auto-detect email address" which is fatal
It popped up the terminal but didn't let you perform the commit? That terminal should wait until the dirty changes have been committed - giving you as long as needed to perform the commit manually.
That said this also sounds like a bit of a edge case - it assumes the user's dev environment is not set up to use git (yet they're working in a version controlled project)
