When you want to make a folder as git repository, associate that repository with the corresponding github account by adding the same username and password.

Go to var/www/html/project-folder

git init

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

git config --global user.email "Your Email"

git config --list to check current username & email

1. Change username & email as desired. Make it a global change or specific to the local repo:
   git config [--global] user.name "Full Name"
git config [--global] user.email "email@address.com"
2. Per repo basis you could also edit .git/config manually instead
