Solution for weird Git Push issue?

Answered

So, I've been having this issue for awhile now, and I just can't seem to find a fix for it.

 

In summary, when I am on my desktop computer (or any computer except my laptop) and I push to GitHub, it recognizes my account as "me," will show that the push was done by me, but yet the display on GitHub shows as a grey profile and unlinkable. But when pushing from my laptop it shows all of the correct account info and displays it as the correct profile. (Image showing this below)

I tried copying the github settings, tried doing a clean install of IDEA, and yet there seems to be no way to fix this. Has anyone experienced this? And if so, how did you fix it? Is Git incorrectly set up on my computer?

Thanks for the help!!

AFAIK, GitHub distinguish users based on email.

Could it happen that the author email of the problematic commits is different from the correct one?

Thanks! I changed the email on the account and logged in with the email in IDEA and it seemed to work.
