I'm using Windows subsystem for linux, with ubuntu distro.
I generally access git commands from the bash. I was making commits the other day and I saw that their author was not my git hub account but wolfbaseplate@DESKTOP-08P153Q.localdomain
where wolfbaseplate@DESKTOP-08P153Q
is the name of my UNIX account on ubuntu.
Is there a way I could fix this?

You can setup your account using following commands
git config --global user.name 'Your Name'
git config --global user.email 'you@domain.com'
