Git pushing as wrong user after updating OS

Question

I updated my os to mavericks and now git is using an old ssh key (that I had believed was deleted) when pushing. I've added an identity in ~/.ssh/config for github specifying the key to use.

When I execute the following from the terminal:

ssh -T [email protected]

The correct ssh key is used. However when I try push to a repo it's using an old ssh key. My local git config file is unchanged from when I git cloned the repo.

Any ideas?

Set your git user info and it will show up on github as you :

git config --global user.name "Your name"
git config --global user.email [email protected]
