How to link redmine user with repository user

Question

I have a Redmine project linked with a repository (git). I want to link my commits with my Redmine account. Now my every commit is made by "Anonymous" user, because RM username and repo username differ.

Answer 1

Under your project settings, in the Repository tab below the greyed out section with your repo URL, there is an icon for users. This screen will allow you to map repo usernames with redmine usernames. This is present in my redmine version 1.1.3.stable. Not sure what version it was implemented in.

Answer 2

Do you see messages like those?

Redmine is checking your changes for correctness...

            Error:     Execute following commands and _recreate_ commit:
            Error:     git config --global user.name "Lukasz Dywicki"
            Error:     git config --global user.email [email protected]

As describes in this thread:

Remember that your email in ~/.gitconfig file should match the one you are registered with in Redmine:
To check your email:

git config --get user.email

To set your email:

locally (in project folder):
git config user.email [email protected]

or globally (anywhere):
git config --global user.email [email protected]

that's because of a logic (problem?) in a redmine code..
