Setting the username and email is an operation on the local repo (or globally for your local git): $ cd git/uimaj-core $ git config user.name "Richard Eckart de Castilho" $ git config user.email "rec@apache..." $ cd git/dkpro-core $ git config user.name "Richard Eckart de Castilho" $ git config user.email "richard...@gmail..." When I make commits in the repos, the respective email is associated with the commit. Cf. https://help.github.com/en/articles/setting-your-username-in-git Cf. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37805621/change-email-address-in-git You can also associate multiple email addresses (identities) with your GitHub account. Click on your username icon top-right, select "Settings" and then "Emails". When you make an action through the GitHub website (e.g. a merge) you can choose in a dropdown which identity you want to use for this action (i.e. which email will be associated with the particular commit). -- Richard
