I am pushing into repositories from my laptop using Git Bash which is Riturajrs but it is showing that it was pushed from an account I was previously logged into. I also tried reinstalling git bash but problem persisted. Please help. Apparently the problem must be in web browser which is changing my name after being pushed

  • When you say "it is showing that it was pushed from an account I was previously logged into" where do you see this? – Code-Apprentice Jun 14 '22 at 19:57
  • In commits section. Once I have pushed it from my system, in repository it shows NAPS pushed whereas my id is Riturajrs – Rituraj Seal Jun 14 '22 at 20:10

  • You don't "log in" to Git: you just use it. There are no saved log-in credentials. There *is* a `user.name` and `user.email` setting; Git uses those to set the corresponding strings in new commits. When you run `git push`, Git uses either https or ssh, and *those* have *authentication* (not "logging in") and those are very different. So you need to decide which things to fix: `user.name` etc as shown by `git log`, or authentication to GitHub. GitHub authentication will depend on whether you're using https or ssh. – torek Jun 15 '22 at 09:28

Your git config has your old settings in it.

To set your global username/email configuration:

Open the command line.
Set your username: git config --global user.name "FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME"
Set your email address: git config --global user.email "MY_NAME@example.com"
