GitHub uses the email address in the commit header to link the commit to a GitHub user. If your commits are being linked to another user, or not linked to a user at all, you may need to change your local Git configuration settings, add an email address to your account email settings, or do both.
You can change the name that is associated with your Git commits using the git config command. The new name you set will be visible in any future commits you push to GitHub from the command line. If you'd like to keep your real name private, you can use any text as your Git username.
No, your user.name does not matter.
If I committed to github with a wrong local credentials (username and password), will it be possible to change the committer name on github? This issue can happen if you have two git accounts! By the way I'n not asking how to reconfigure your local git account.
