But today on Stackoverflow someone else posted the **exact** same issue - for the **exact** same github name: http://stackoverflow.com/q/29522925/1317935\r\n\r\nI checked the contribution history - and @mvdstam has not contributed to Homestead - so I dont know how/why this is occurring?\r\n\r\nObviously you should set your global github username+email (I normally do, but my script failed so I didnt notice)\r\n\r\nBut can we at least change the default user? Perhaps even make a 'homestead' github user that is the default - so it is more obvious? Or can we force the variables to be null?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/laravel/framework/issues/comments/91184187","html_url":"https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/8348#issuecomment-91184187","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/laravel/framework/issues/8348","id":91184187,"user":{"login":"mvdstam","id":7629384,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7629384?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvdstam","html_url":"https://github.com/mvdstam","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvdstam/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvdstam/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvdstam/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvdstam/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvdstam/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvdstam/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvdstam/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvdstam/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvdstam/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-09T10:19:33Z","updated_at":"2015-04-09T10:19:33Z","body":"Ah, I think I've found it. My previous comment had nothing to do with it.\r\n\r\nWhen doing git-related stuff from within the homestead box, you are doing it as a user called \"vagrant\" if things aren't configured properly (such as SSH keys not being transferred correctly to the vagrant box upon provisioning). In that case, when you try to push something, you can't since you're doing it under some \"vagrant\" user that doesn't exist.\r\n\r\nI, however, in my youthful enthousiasm, linked that user (somehow) to my github account. Which means that everyone that tries to do something with the vagrant user and git, ends up in my github account.\r\n\r\nI removed the link from the vagrant user and my github account under my profile settings; people shouldn't end up in my github account anymore.\r\n\r\nHowever, this doesn't really alleviate the problem itself since anyone could do this apparently. Homestead shouldn't come preconfigured with preconfigured git users, because stuff like this can happen."}}
