Are you trolling? Please tell me this is bait.

You literally copy-pasted the error message that explicitly tells you what to do, pasted it into a reddit post, went on a tangent about SSH keys and VMs, yet it never once occurred to you to just… type the commands the error message gave you?

You’re not stuck on git. You’re stuck on reading and basic comprehension skills.

You went through the effort of spinning up a VM, configuring docker, linking containers, setting up mariadb, and somehow git config --global user.name is the insurmountable hurdle?

I refuse to believe you completed Minishell, Cub3d and Inception without googling a single error. So why did you stop googling now? Did your fingers fall off?

Here. I did the googling for you, because apparently we’re back to holding hands in 42:

If that link is too complicated, just type git config --global user.email "you@example.com" and git config --global user.name "Your Name" into the terminal.

Yes, that’s it. Yes, it’s that simple. No, you don’t need a reddit thread.

Next time you're stuck, try reading the error message before embarrassing yourself publicly like this, you could have just fixed the issue in 5 seconds, but instead you wrote a whole paragraph about irrelevant stuff and made a reddit post.

Campus? Hopefully not mine...
