GIT - Keeps asking username even after global storage

I have saved my username globally in GIT when I check by using git config --global user.name command, it shows me correct username but it still keeps me asking username every time when I push or commit the code.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks in advance.

Asking for your username when pushing is about authentication, not commit authorship.

Regarding authentication (credentials, username/password provided to a remote Git repository hosting service), you need to check your git config credential.helper: that setting can setup a cache, avoiding to request your credentials every time you are pushing.

As the OP Pribhav comments, you can as in this answer, embed the username in the URL (https://username@site/...).
Nut the credential.helper is still needed to avoid asking for your password.
