Github doesn't show the right author of a commit

I have an account on github and I am the owner of an organization.

I don't understand why when I do 'git commit' an then 'git push' the webpage shows the name of the organization as author of the commit.

When I run 'git push' I use the username and the password of my account.

Thanks

The commit user will not be affected by git push, you need to commit as the correct user.

You can set this by doing:

git config --global user.name "My Name"
git config --global user.email [email protected]

If you want to fix the last existing commit (that has NOT been pushed), you can do

git commit --amend --reset-author

Go to your project folder.

Under ".git/config" you can see your information.

[user]
    name = xxx
    email = xxx

Perhaps your informations are wrong.
