Gitlab repositorie doesn't recognize my username information

I already set my user.name and email as it is on my Gitlab > Settings > Email page with:

git config --global user.name "Joselito Doe"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

If I run git config -l I see the right information. But my commits still not linked to my gitlab user.
Also, If I run git log this is what I see:

commit 422986283ASDUHShu3hu3
Merge: XXXX
Author: Joselito Doe <--global>

git remove -v is right too. It should be my email there. Why the --global instead of my email?

Because at some point, you type git config user.email --global "your email" and so --global was interpreted as your email for you local git config

Try this:

git config user.email

It will probably show you local config which is bad.

The easy way is to simply delete your local configuration (or overwrite it).

Use

git config --edit

to edit and fix your local git configuration.
