I see this message in Github:

john doe authored and My Name committed 4 minutes ago

Where does Github pickup My Name from? How can I remove it or change it to john doe?

I know that I can change the author with

git rebase -r --root --exec "git commit --amend --no-edit --reset-author"

But I don't know how to change the name of the person who commited.

Have you tried ```git config --global user.name "Your Name" ``` – Serge de Gosson de Varennes Feb 23 '23 at 16:18

of course, are you sure you changed windows "credential manager" setting – tzztson Feb 23 '23 at 17:14
The suggestion by @SergedeGossondeVarennes worked – user1283776 Mar 14 '23 at 08:13
