Can you reproduce this on try.gitea.io? I see you've answered "no" on the form, so I'm just making sure.

I'm assuming you have credentials cached somewhere, though if you're able to reproduce this on another instance we would greatly appreciate a security report to security@gitea.io

Regarding your username, that is something you set with git, for example covered here https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup under "Your Identity".

$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
$ git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com

The above sets it globally, which may not be what you want. It can be set per-repo and even has finer controls if you need.

Gitea will link commits to your account by matching the email used.

the cloning of private repository is think it indeed because of saved credentials but no idea where, did not set anything in git config. Still when pushing to repository in vscode i does not go to my account but just some account with my username. the push also is not visible in the home screen. this is not because of github because i did log out.
