Hey Yash,

Junio has explained the problem very well. Since you seem to be a
beginner (guessing purely by your email) I will tell you how to fix
it.

Remember when you would have first installed git, you would have done
something like `git config --global user.name <what ever name>` and
`git config --global user.email <what ever email>`, it gets
permanently stored in the git configuration file (~/.gitconfig). Now
all the commits in git are made with this name and email. If you want
to change this, again run the above commands with your new name and
email. After that commits will be done with a different name and
email. Hope this helps! :)

First, per user Git configuration doesn't necessarily go into ~/.gitconfig;
it could be in ~/.config/git/config

Second, you can configure user.email and user.name with `git config` or
`git config --local`.  The information would go into .git/config for
specific repository.  This might be a better solution if you want
different settings for different repositories.
