Merging two git clients

Question

I recently installed a clean copy of windows 10 on my machine and installed git. I configured git username but when i cloned my own repository, a VS code extension says it was edited by "Muremwa" instead of "you". How do I make git know that it's the same user?

How did you configure your git username? – Lasse V. Karlsen Oct 24 '18 at 13:54 — Lasse V. Karlsen, Oct 24 '18 at 13:54

You can check the git username for the current repository using:

git config user.name

To check the e-mail id for the user use:

git config user.email

To change it you can use:

git config user.name "Mona Lisa"

git config user.email "email@example.com"

To set it globally use --global .

Example:

git config --global user.email "email@example.com"

I actually did all that. It's only the VS code extension with that recognizes the contributors as two diffrent people. – muremwa Oct 27 '18 at 08:29
