Github uses the commit mail address to match your commits with your account. To make your username and avatar appear again you need to set the commit email address on your system, or, if it’s already correct, add that mail address to your Github account. Setting your commit email address - GitHub DocsI’m not familiar with Github Desktop, so I don’t know why installing it would change the setting. Maybe someone else can answer that? |

@alpceylan GitHub Desktop uses the name and email found in your
.gitconfig
. You can change this by going to the menu in GitHub Desktop and selectingFile
>Options
>Git
. Installing the app should not change this unless your name and email were not previously set in your.gitconfig
, and in that case GitHub Desktop autofills with the name and email address from your GitHub account. I hope that helps!
