Problem with my Github association in Intellij
Hi! Hope this is the place where I can find a solution to my problem.
I linked for the first time my Github account to Intellij to make easier the commits and pulls. When I did my commit it asked me to complete with my Github user and I suppose the next field was my mail, but I completed everything quickly so I didn't read what was asking then. In the second field I putted my password and finally accepted that window. After that, I was able to make my commit. Now the problem is that I can see that second field every time I make my commits inside Intellij and, what's more, is that I'm working in this project with some classmates and they are also able to see the password I wrote as my email. I'm guessing that it was the email what was asked me because when I see the changes from my classmates, where I see my password I see their mails.
I hope I had explained well my problem. I already removed my Github from Intellij, but it still shows me my user <password>. I haven't found how to change that from Intellij. Is it possible to change how I registered my Github from Intellij?
I'm attaching a photo where what's crossed out between < > it's the password I'm talking about

Hello Fmagnecolque
You experience such an issue due to password being entered in "user.email" in git config
In order to fix it, you need to run `git config --global user.email "your@email.com"`
