When you run recipe new, the command creates a new git repository and writes a first commit. For git to write a commit a git user and email needs to be specified. This information is taken from the users gitconfig. When a user did not configure a global git user and git email they get the following error message:

FATA[0000] author field is required

I think we have several options:

Remove the commit feature and leave comiting to the user
Improve the error message (it should be clear, that the error comes from git commit)
Add flags to set the git user and email

While I'm fine with merging coop-cloud/abra#405 I do think I prefer the 2. option with a clear error message. We've slipped into implementing stuff that other tools can do better in the past. Not a good look. Thanks for pushing this along.
