Ive seen this quest

Answer 1

This happens to me when I add new image assets. The "fix" is to go to File > Save BEFORE you do a Git Commit. Then the Commit works Fine.

Answer 2

first you check in command line follow this picture .If git is clean (add . + commit done)

also have problem same you ForceQuit Xcode and open again

Answer 3

The above solution did not work for me. I am running on Xcode 8 (8C1002) and I have close to 4500 files to commit at once (adding the sources of a library to my project).

The only way I can make it working (without the error message) is by committing smaller number of files multiple times instead of all at once.

Answer 4

Turns out the “helper application” is in fact Git. For some reason Xcode 7 is eager to associate you (the committer) with a name and an email address.

To fix it, on the command line, type the following:

xcrun git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.com
xcrun git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"

Answer 5

If the above mentioned solutions don't work, try this one:

Add changes once with a git command. Use terminal and change to your working directory (that contains a /.git folder) and execute:

git commit -a -m "Commit title here"

After that commit via Xcode should work again.

Answer 6

I had the same problem.

This fixed my problem: Quit Xcode(using CMD+Q) & run it again.
