Why is github showing different authorname?

I cloned fresh repo of my code. Then I made necessary changes in repo followed by these three steps 

git add --all
git commit
git push -u origin master

It asks username,password, which I enter.

but after the push, git repo shows changes authored by my colleague rather than what I am. Why so? can't get it.

Check what is the email in the config

git config --global user.email

if it is not yours, change and commit again:

$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
$ git config --global user.email [email protected]

Does it locally show the author of your commit as your colleague when you do git log?

You can check "who you're committing as" by running these commands:

git config user.name

git config --global user.name

And ensure your email is properly associated with your GitHub account. You can check your local email address settings the same way:

git config user.email

git config --global user.email
