Git name change

I am using Git GNU bash, version 4.3.42 (5) -release (x86_64-pc-msys) windows 8.1 pro. I gave him the username at the very beginning by typing the command: Git config --global user.name "xyz" but then when I got to Github that username was already accepted, so I tried changing my Git username in the same way like github. Entering the same command then enter: Git config --list but it continues to show the old username, I even tried to delete it, and then I will repeat the same command, but this is the same problem. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Look at the file .gitconfigin your home directory for global settings, as well as .git/configin a specific project for overriding values.

On Windows, there may be several additional steps to viewing these files .

The above suggestion was great, but I decided to solve the problem differently:

I went to the Git GUI, then Edit, Then options and there I found another button to change the username. It was a success.
