I recently signed up with github to gitlab account.I was pushing the projects earlier with some other user's credentials but now I want to use my own github account. I changed the user name and email with
git config --global user.name <myusername>
git config --global user.email <myemail>
Well I can push as myusername
now but the activities i do don't reflect in my profile.Infact they are reflected in the previous user account mentioning Authored by <myname>
while contributions are shown under his name.
When I open my account my contributions are none.
I checked out on the other posts about removing windows credentials but my device hasn't stored any git credentials.I am not able to get what is the problem and how to solve this.

First, set your remote URL with the right user account in it:
cd /path/to/my/local/repo
git remote set-url origin https://[email protected]/myGitLabAccount/myrepo.git
Second, check your git credential helper:
git config credential.helper
If set, that helper should prompt you for your GitHub password, and cache it.
