LAB 5.1 git commit fail

In step 6 of Lab 5.1 we must execute
git commit -m "My initial commit" --author="The genuis me <me@myself.com>"
I get the reply back
"*** Please tell me who you are." .....fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'student@ubuntu.(none)'). I am using the official course VM Ubuntu 16-04.
In step 7 you do actually set these options, and once completed step 6 will work
I suggest to maybe swap the steps in the labs?

Hi Jengel,
In this lab, yes, you can swap step 6 with 7. In fact it was already configured in the system that's showing the lab, so it didn't get the error you had.
Thanks,
Luis.

my OS is ubuntu and I got the same error even after performing the git config commands. What I noticed was that the error was telling me to input "global" git config. So I used the following and it worked.
root@lcfs-vm:/git-test# git config --global user.name "Genius"
root@lcfs-vm:/git-test# git config --global user.email "genius@genius.com"
root@lcfs-vm:/git-test# git commit -m "My initial commit" --author="A Genius <blah@linux.com>"
[master (root-commit) 48a9720] My initial commit

1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 somejunkfile
root@lcfs-vm:/git-test# get log

Hi cvasquez,
Yes, that works. Anyway, you should be able to run git commits with a normal user (instead root).
Regards,
Luis.

Hola chmorenos,
El objetivo de este laboratorio es introducirse en el uso de git; para eso se ejecutan varios comandos básicos con el fin de quedar con un ambiente funcional de git y realizar algunas operaciones también básicas.
¿Seguiste todos los pasos del laboratorio?
Saludos,
