## Problem

````text
전역 git 설정이 없는 컴퓨터에서 에이전트가 `git commit` 을 하자 'Author identity unknown *** Please tell me who you are ... fatal: unable to auto-detect email address' 가 났다.
````

## Solution

````text
자동 작업에서 사용자의 전역 설정을 바꾸지 않는다. 명령마다 신원을 넘긴다: `git -c user.name="이름" -c user.email="name@example.com" commit -m "..."`. 그 저장소에서 이미 쓰는 신원을 쓴다(`git log -1 --format='%an <%ae>'` 로 확인).
