I try to do some git commands during build, like explained here: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/git-push
But I got the following error :

*** Please tell me who you are.




Run




git config --global user.email "[email blocked]"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"




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




fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'appveyor@appvyr-win20122.(none)')

The repo is: https://github.com/laedit/readinglist
And the AppVeyor project: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/laedit/readinglist

I don't know what I am missing.

   Add commands setting up git username and email.

   Thanks a lot, I don't know why I was thinking that must be automatic.

   I have fixed that but I run in another problem:
   The push seems good, no error message, but the github project isn't updated.

   The remote exists, so I wonder if this is related to the access token: is the "public_repo" right ok?
   Or other rights are necessary?

   If it's public repo then yes, that should be enough.

   Try doing the entire sequence locally to see if you missing something. Also, you can login to build worker via RDP: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker

   Another thing to note - if access token is defined as "secure variable" and it's PR build it won't be decrypted.

   Thanks for the tips.
   I haven't been able to connect with RDP ("credentials did not work") but I found what I have missed: the local branch wasn't master but a detached HEAD. So a git checkout master have fixed it.

   I will modify the docs to add some of what I learn from this :)

   And again thanks a lot for your help and your amazing tool!
