Made a git commit but for some reason it shows the user as www on github

Cloned my own repository from github and made a commit locally, setting the author as blank on my commit. Then I pushed the commit to github logging in through my actual account. But now on github the committer is "www" clicking on which brings me to a user page of "www" with no commits. It looks like a legitimate user because they have followers that I don't have. Is this expected behaviour? What happened?

The thing that happened is your git username or email matched the account.

One of the reasons below might caused the problem.

  • Your email address is not set in Git.
  • Your email address might match the www account.
  • Your committer name might be set to www
