Why are my commits duplicating my username in latest commit message?

I'm not exactly sure how I managed to do this but I went through my commits today and noticed something interesting.

It looks like GitHub is recognizing me as two separate people?

This is a personal repo and so far I'm the only person who has made any changes to the repo. I would like it to show just one name, I'm pretty new to Git/GitHub so any help would be greatly appreciated!

This happens when your commit is authored by an email address that GitHub does not know about.

You can add this email to your GitHub account

(Click on your avatar > Settings > Email > Add email address)

...Or update your email in ~/.gitconfig to match what you already have in GitHub.

[user]
   name = John Sprunger
   email = [email protected]
