Subject: Resetting git account from system completely

[Shubhu Rana]

Hey! there,
Actually the issue is that I've installed git on other laptop and set
up my git account using my own git username, mail and password, and
start using remote github for cloning, pushing etc. But now I want to
reset my all the setting from that system, so that when someone try to
using git on that laptop they won't be able to manipulate my git,
github repos, It will prompt for them username and password. I've
tried every possible way from deleting credentials from windows
credential manager and  git config --global --unset credential.helper
renaming and deleting .gitconfig file changing PAT on github resetting
password and tried chatGpt's steps, gemini and what not. Could you
provide me step-to-step guide to resolve this issue? Please help me to
resolve this.
Any advice appreciated. Hopping response from git community.
operating system using = window 11
Thank you

If I understand correctly, this is actually a github question, rather than a git question, so your question is more appropriately directed at github; however, You should look at the credentials you supplied to your github user id and examine the settings on that site. Following that, you will need to update your local SSH keypairs that were updated on github.

Good luck,
