Build error on project creation - then get git author error message!

[dcs3spp (roughlea)]

Hi I am trying to create a deployment on my site from my private GitHub repository. The first deploy had a build error.

I made another commit and tried to create a deployment from the project dashboard. I selected the commit from the popup dialog box and then get an error message relating to author required.

Tried signing out, pushing another commit, logging in aagain and creating a deployment again. Same error! How to fix?

This is a nextjs deployment

It sounds like there’s a metadata issue with the commits from your local repo. I have another post here with details on how to fix it.

When deploying new project I see a different name than mine that "started" the project

This is usually caused by a git metadata misconfiguration. Someone else ran into the same problem very recently. You should be able to fix it by updating the global name and email for git commits on your computer. git config --global user.name “[github account name]” git config --global user.email “[github account email]” I included a bit of additional explanation in that thread if you’re curious to know more.

Thanks Amy, I have githib and gitlab repositories.

git config --get user.email

Shows the email associted with my gitlab account

After updating the git email locally to my project for my github account:

git config user.email "<my github email>"

and pushing a new commit then Vercel automated a new deploy

Many thanks for you help, I will mark your suggestion as the solution
