I started a new directory which had code in it. I tried to commit and it told me to install Git. I installed Git.

I tried to commit and I got the following answer in the output window:

Please tell me who you are.

Run

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

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

I opened a Git terminal and wrote the command. Then I typed git config --list and saw the parameters that I entered. But the commit in Visual Studio Code gave me the same answer.
