Body

Earlier, I had a direct GitHub repo in my Source Control or from there, all my files were pushed to my GitHub repo, but since I have created a new user in my name on my laptop, all these files have been pushed to the source as well.

How will this problem be solved?

Verify Remote URL: First, check the current remote URL that your local repository is pointing to with the following command in your terminal or command line:

Copy code
git remote -v
Change Remote URL: If the current remote URL is not the one you want to push to, change it to the correct URL with:

arduino
Copy code
git remote set-url origin [URL_OF_YOUR_GITHUB_REPO]
Replace [URL_OF_YOUR_GITHUB_REPO] with the correct URL of the repository you want to push to.

Re-Push Your Changes: After you've set the correct URL, you can push your changes again with:

perl
Copy code
git push origin master
Or if you're using a branch other than master, replace master with your branch name.

Reset Commits: If you've accidentally pushed commits to the wrong repository and want to remove them, you might need to reset your commits using:

css
Copy code
git reset --hard [commit_before_the_change]
Replace [commit_before_the_change] with the commit hash that was before the changes you made. Then, push these changes to the correct repository.

Check Permissions: Ensure you have the correct permissions for the GitHub repository you are pushing to. If it's under a different account, you may need to adjust the permissions or use a different set of credentials.

Re-Clone If Necessary: If your local repository is in a state that's too complex to untangle, consider cloning a fresh copy from the correct repository and applying your changes there.

Check Your IDE Settings: Sometimes, IDEs have their own git management tools. Make sure that your IDE's Source Control settings are also pointing to the correct repository.

Ensure Branching Is Correct: Verify that you are on the correct branch and that your local branch is set up to track the correct remote branch. You can check this with:

Copy code
git branch -vv
Consult Documentation: If you're using a specific GUI tool for git operations, consult the tool's documentation for how to change the remote repository settings.
