The "committed identity unknown" error usually occurs when Git is unable to associate your commits with a valid identity (i.e., your username and email address). This can happen for a few different reasons, such as:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com" Make sure that the email address you use matches the email address associated with your GitHub account
Additionally, you may want to reach out to the GitHub support |
