RE: visual studio code --> fatal: unable to auto-detect email address

Hi Alexandre,

When you make a new application from a sample in nRF Connect for VS Code, a Git repository is automatically created and the sample code committed to that repo. However, this only works if you have configures the name and email in Git, as explained in the error message:

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

The team is aware of this and in a future release this error message will be supressed to avoid confusion.
