    <p>From <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git" rel="nofollow">the GitHub Help page "Set up Git"</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Username</strong></p> <p>First you need to tell git your name, so that it can properly label the commits you make.</p> </blockquote> <pre><code>$ git config --global user.name "Your Name Here" # Sets the default name for git to use when you commit </code></pre> <p>You have only set your email, but first you should have set your name. That's probably why the author is not the right one in the dashboard.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Since you already set your username as I suggested, you need to modify GIT_COMMITTER_NAME or GIT_AUTHOR_NAME variables. In order to do so open a shell in your repository (if you're on Windows set the PowerShell as the predefined shell first from tools->options, so you can copy/paste in it) and type the following:</p> <pre><code>git filter-branch --env-filter ' </code></pre> <p>Then open any texteditor and copy/paste the following in it:</p> <pre><code>an="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" am="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" cn="$GIT_COMMITTER_NAME" cm="$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" if [ "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" = "your@email.to.match" ] then cn="Your New Committer Name" cm="Your New Committer Email" fi if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "your@email.to.match" ] then an="Your New Author Name" am="Your New Author Email" fi export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="$an" export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="$am" export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$cn" export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$cm" ' </code></pre> <p>Then modify the fields "cn", "cm", "an", "am" and the content of the two if statements accordingly, copy/paste this script into the shell and press enter twice.</p> <p>This should solve your problem, but keep in mind that this is not a good practice when you share a repository with others, since it rewrites history.</p> <p>See also the <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/setting-your-username-in-git#troubleshooting" rel="nofollow">Troubleshooting information here</a> and the <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/changing-author-info" rel="nofollow">GitHub Help page about changing author info</a>.</p>
