When deploying new project I see a different name than mine that "started" the project

Hi, so this is a weird issue. I just deployed a new vercel app from my github account . After successful deployment I saw that instead of my github name being displayed as the one who started it. It says started by “mkeating” - I have no idea who that is or why that would be the case. my name is kanermichael.

Any help would be appreciated!

Here is a screenshot:

Hi,
so I realized when I deploy a project from my Gitub repo, it states in the vercel dashboard, that it was started ( the deployment) by a user mkeating. I have no idea who that is, I even created a new github and vercel account, as I first thought it has to do with my user in some way. But no I still get the same user who “started” the deployment.

This is usually caused by a git metadata misconfiguration. Someone else ran into the same problem very recently. You should be able to fix it by updating the global name and email for git commits on your computer.

git config --global user.name “[github account name]”
git config --global user.email “[github account email]”

I included a bit of additional explanation in that thread if you’re curious to know more.
