What's with Wapplers Git intergration usernames?

This isn’t a big deal, but I’ve noticed when using the Wappler git integration and pushing, it pushes as your Wappler username/user rather than your Git user/username.

It isn’t a huge deal, but it means your account isn’t seen as the one pushing things to Git, which can get a bit confusing/annoying if you have multiple people working on one project (If your usernames aren’t the same).

Is there anyway to force Wappler to push as my actual github user?

I raised this issue privately some time ago, but no solution was reached.
Fortunately, I found below commands which solved it for me:

git config --global user.name "first-name last-name"
git config --global user.email your-email@here.com

I use Gitlab. So for email part, I put in the private email created by Gitlab for my account.
If you put your actual email, it gets exposed in commits.
I think there is an option to skip that part, but not sure how that works.

Indeed if you haven’t used git before on your computer - Wappler uses the username it has for you per default.

You can setup custom one indeed as Sid explains.

Maybe we can add an option for that @patrick

I can add that to the options, I checked and we use the default name/email registered with git and fallback to the name/email registered with Wappler.
