Everytime i try to commit a change on vscode i am unable to as it says that my email or details are not in the system . how to i deal with that

In Codespaces, Git still needs your name and email configured inside the Codespace environment.

Open the terminal in VS Code/Codespaces and run:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your-email@example.com"

Use the email connected to your GitHub account. If you use GitHub’s private email option, use your noreply email from:
GitHub Settings -> Emails

Then confirm it is set:

git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email

After that, try committing again. If it still fails, restart the Codespace and try again.

This usually means Git doesn't know your name and email yet. Configure them with:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your-email@example.com"

If you're using GitHub, make sure the email matches one associated with your GitHub account. After configuring Git, try committing again. If the problem persists, share the exact error message so we can help further.
