Research direction

Start by reproducing yo easy-ui5 project project without global Git user.name or user.email, then inspect the template creator's end step where git commit --quiet --allow-empty runs. The work is done when project generation succeeds or reports a clear, handled identity requirement without the fatal Git error.
