I was able to configure the Git interface and clone our scripts repository (we are using a local bitbucket server). After I made modifications to a script and pushed it up to the bitbucket repository it appended <> to the end of my user name. Because of that the changes are flagged as being from an unknown user and are not added to the file in the repository.
As far as my local repository is concerned everything has been pushed up and there are no changes pending.
Any pointers on where in the configs to look and or correct how its sending the user name to the server?
