About Git usernames
You can change the name that is associated with your Git commits using the git config command. The new git name you set will be visible in any future commits you push to GitHub from the git command line. If you'd like to keep your real name private, you can use any text as your Git username.
Changing the name associated with your Git commits using git config will only affect future commits and will not change the name used for past commits.
Setting your Git username for every repository on your computer
Open Git Bash.
Set a Git username:
$ git config --global user.name “Cloud Monk Losang Jinpa, PhD, MCSE, MCT”
Confirm that you have set the Git username correctly:
$ git config --global user.name
