When I was checking my analytics on KASM, I realized it disproportionately displayed my commits. It said I only had a single commit when I knew I should have had significantly more. When checking my analytics on GitHub and not on KASM, I saw that my commits were split between two users- one being my own account and the others being my parents. That is when I realized after inheriting my parents laptop, all my commits, except the initial, were logged under my parents GitHub.
I did not know why this was happening as I was still logged into my own account when creating my repository and commiting changes, and I could not find anything online about it. As of then, I had 23 commits under my parents account and only one in mine.
That is when I was reading the "Tools Setup" blog where I found the solution. The Git Identification steps provided helped match my email and my GitHub ID to my credentials. In other words, it switched my work done on this laptop to credit my account.
After successfully running the following commands in terminal (as seen above), I then committed a test commit in my repository and checked analytics where it finally added a commit (besides the initial) to my GitHub account.
