Visual Studio Code GitHub account

I have a Visual Studio Code project for an Angular2 app created using AngularCli (webpack version). Out of the box, AngularCli will generate a new project for you and check it into Git. How do you know which GitHub account it's using? I cannot find any information in Visual Studio as to what GitHub account is controlling the code history. I can make changes to the code and check it in using Visual Studio Code's embedded Git functionality. I've logged into GitHub using my account, but I do not see this new project. Where do you find information on what GitHub account either AngualrCli and/or Visual Studio Code is using?

How do you know which GitHub account it's using?

It doesn't need to use any github account to create a git repo. It's just calling git init, followed by some git add/git commit commands. You can do those without github credentials. After the tool does its job, you have a fully-functional local git repo.

You only need github account when you try to push code to github, which you did not yet do, I assume. You don't need github credentials to work with local repository (view history, add new commits, branch, merge, etc.)
