Firstly you need to change credentials from your local machine

1. remove generic credentials if there is any

2. configure new user and email (you can make it globally if you want)

git config [--global] user.name "Your Name"
git config [--global] user.email "email@address.com"

3. now upload or update your repo it will ask your username and password to get access to github
