How Do I Set Git Commit Information?

CodeArts Agent IDE is deeply integrated with the Git version control system and provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). You can view the file change status (modified, new, or untracked) in one click, compare code differences easily, stage, commit, push, and pull code, and efficiently resolve merge conflicts. This out-of-the-box tool frees you from memorizing complex commands. The learning costs are low and the version management is more intuitive and efficient.

After modifying the code, you can record the changes in the README.md file. To configure Git commit information and synchronize it to the remote repository, follow the steps below.
