Possibly Xcode only just started caring about username and email and yours were
always like this. That message looks to me like a generic .gitconfig was set up
in a directory somewhere.
Try this - go somewhere which doesn’t have a git repository at all, like /tmp,
in a terminal window, type
git config user.email
git config user.name
That should show you the globally configured email and name. If they are right
then you probably have another .gitconfig in the actual project or somewhere
between it and your home directory. If you go to the directory of the project
you’re having issues with and type the same commands, do you get the same
thing? If you get the myname@mymachinename.(none) then that’s coming from a
.gitconfig somewhere between your project directory and your home directory. Or
do the brute force approach and, from your home directory run
find . -name .gitconfig -ls
it won’t be quick, but it will hunt out every git config file and you can go
look at them.
If none of those things is the case, then it seems Xcode has SCM issues again.
I also would say that using SourceTree is a better plan anyway and it’s worth
learning to drive git from the command line which is what I do most of the time
but it’s worth figuring out where Xcode is reading this stuff from.
