Different users for the same commit.

[Lennart Hendriksma]

I noticed something strange while viewing some of my latest commits.

In the Recent Activities I noticed that the commit I made has a different user linked to it, but when I open the commit I see my own user account linked to it.

What's going on?

My local git config file is set-up properly, showing my username and email correctly, as a measurement i added my username and email to the aliases. But in the Recent activity's feed it keeps showing as somebody else. When I open the commit it shows correct user information.

Can you check your local git config?
