Visual Studio Code: Error: Git Failed to execute

Question

I installed VS Code (version: 1.12.1) and after that I installed Git (version: 2.13.0.windows.1) on Windows 10 machine. Then:

1. I created an Asp.Net project (img 1)

2. I open it in VS Code, went to Source Control and clicked Initialize Repository (img 2)

3. I tried to commit changes (img 3).

4. And I saw this error message (img 4).
5. Then I made sure that git was the provider (img 5)
6. I went to the settings.json and override the git Path (img 6), by default it was set to null. But it doesn't solve the problem. I created another app from scratch and the same error message is shown.

Here is the Git Log Output:

From above comments:

Read the log outputs from Git. Configure your user email and user name. One way to do that is to open command prompt. Then navigate to your folder using cd FILEPATH. Then configure your user email and user name. It can be configured globally or only within the current repo. Configure globally with

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

then

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
