Git & Github: SSH commit appears to be done by another account

  • 772

I am working the commits through SSH keys, the process I do to identify myself is the following:

eval $(ssh-agent)
ssh-add ~/Desktop/ssh/Github/UsuarioA  <--- Llave privada

Even if I run the command

ssh -T [email protected]

It appears that I identified myself as user A: Hi UserA ! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

But when making commits it appears to me that they were made by UserB !

What seems most strange to me is that I have already deleted the keys of UserB, they do not exist. And the repository is private and UserB does not have permission to access that repository. I don't understand what is happening, because there are no warnings or errors, any idea what is happening?

Note: I use GitBash for it and work with Windows

Problem image:

    I solved it with the help of this blog , which tells us how to configure the .git/config to recognize the specific ssh key.

    Leaving the .git/config configuration similar to this:

    [core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = false
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    ignorecase = true
    sshCommand = "ssh -i ~/Desktop/ssh/Github/UsuarioA"
[remote "origin"]
    url = [email protected]:UsuarioA/Repositorio.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "main"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/main
[user]
    name = UsuarioA
    email = [email protected]

    From the additional configuration I added was all [user] and [core].sshCommand
