[rush] Unable to initiate working in rushstack repo (using "rush update")

[Luxcium]

I feel pretty doomed

I am trying my best to quickly learn how to use that stack and it seems that I am falling into a deep rabbit hole... I do not really know if my complaints are valuable for you I want it to work for me but at the same time, I want to bring constructive pieces of information about my experience. I hope I did not overlook something obvious as I have opened a few complaints 😅 issues in the last 2 days.

Summary

I am getting an error message despite apparently following what it is asked in the error message:

❯ git config --local user.name "<NAME>"
git config --local user.email "[email protected]"
rush update


Rush Multi-Project Build Tool 5.76.1 - https://rushjs.io
Node.js version is 16.17.1 (LTS)


Starting "rush update"

Checking Git policy for this repository.

Hey there!  To keep things tidy, this repo asks you to submit your Git commits using an email like this pattern:

    [^@]+@users\.noreply\.github\.com

 #  .................<REDACTED>.................

To fix it, you can use commands like this:

    git config --local user.name "Mr. Example"
    git config --local user.email "[email protected]"

Aborting, so you can go fix your settings.  (Or use --bypass-policy to skip.)

Repro steps

After gh repo clone microsoft/rushstack; cd rushstack
did rush update

with:
git config --get --local user.email

❯ <REDACTED>

git config --get --local user.name

❯ <REDACTED>

Expected result:

Starting "rush update"

Actual result:

Aborting, so [ I ] can go fix [ my ] settings.

I probably should learn how to read:

(Note: if you don't have a GitHub email configured, add the --bypass-policy option.)

I know how to overcome the problem but I do have an email configured so I think my issue is still relevant?

Also I still hope to have some insight about my overall question regarding the documentation and how I could be helpful for this project and how I could learn beyond what the documentation explains...

The error message is saying that your email doesn't match the expected pattern (which is [^@]+@users\.noreply\.github\.com). If you run git config --local user.email "[email protected]" inside the repo, the issue will be resolved.

This repo (https://github.com/microsoft/rushstack) requires that users use their GitHub username pseudo-emails to avoid someone accidentally making a commit and including their personal or work email in the Git history. See docs here: https://rushjs.io/pages/maintainer/setup_policies/#allowedemailregexps-avoiding-private-e-mail-addresses

oh oops, thanks (I was reading without my eyes sorry)...
