Plugin creation fails if git user.email is not configured #48

Open

Description

@wpyoga

Describe the bug

If git's user.email option is not set, plugin creation fails.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Clone a repo without the git's global user.name option configured (you can temporarily rename ~/.gitconfig to achieve this effect)
  2. Run bash setup.bash
  3. Observe the error messages at the end (just before the TODO issues are shown).

Expected behavior

If the user.email option is not set, the script should ask for one.
