Question

Answer 1

As Frédéric Henri mentions, you have to configure properly your email through git config user.email or directly through editing the \.git\config file in your repo folder.

One important thing that might go unnoticed is the fact that you have to update all the previous commits that contain the fault email. Git will complain about the email pattern but it won't mention which commit is the problematic one.

You can use git rebase or git reset and then once you commit you can push successfully!
