GitGitGadget looks at the author information, so you need to ensure that
the "Author:" line in the output of `git log` shows the desired name. If
it does not, you need to configure `user.name` (and user.email)` as
desired, and then re-commit with `git commit --amend --reset-author`, then
force-push.

Ciao,
