I can't quite get past level 4: "Set up your git name and email, this is important so that your commits can be identified"

I had already set these up in my global config, but I ran the following commands anyway: git config user.name "My Name"; git config user.email "[email protected]"

Looking at the code, it seems that the program is supposed to ask me for my name and email, but it never did.

Me as well. It's never been edited other than the commit so it's not like there was an update. I am on a mac if that matters.

edit: what you can do is edit the .profile.yml file and change :level to clone and under the completed levels area you can add - config to bypass it.

edit2: it looks like it does not work well on the mac as any level that asks a question is not doing so.

Tried playing around and got stuck at the same level. The hint in this case is not very useful unfortunately: "These settings are config settings. You should run `git help config` if you are stuck"

Thanks for everyone who pointed this out. I'll check it out when I get my hands on a mac.

Update This is fixed in 0.1.4

I have the same error on mac as well. I don't see anything wrong with the code for interact, it's just a print and gets.
