According to the log you provide, it seems that github setup need the information of your account information.

Could you try to use the window terminal, and execute the above commands under its instruction?

@jdchoi77 I am having this issue on mac, do I need to connect my email to git?

For Windows users who don't have Git installed, you can download it here:
https://git-scm.com/download/win

If the following error comes up, uun the commands below in the IntelliJ terminal and then commit and push.

Successfully created project 'dsa-java' on GitHub, but initial commit failed:
*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

@liamsgordon please follow the similar process to set up your GitHub account in your laptop. Otherwise, git cant not push your local repo into remote repo.
