@alpceylan GitHub Desktop uses the name and email found in your .gitconfig. You can change this by going to the menu in GitHub Desktop and selecting File > Options > Git. Installing the app should not change this unless your name and email were not previously set in your .gitconfig, and in that case GitHub Desktop autofills with the name and email address from your GitHub account. I hope that helps!
