How to configure git to include my name in commits

Question

I set my name and email address as follows

git config --global user.name myname

However, when I run git log after the commit, it shows the unknown instead of myname:

Author: unknown <[e-mail]>

What should I do to make my name appear on the journal team?

Edit: The output of config -l is as follows:

core.symlinks=false
core.autocrlf=false
color.diff=auto
color.status=auto
color.branch=auto
color.interactive=true
pack.packsizelimit=2g
help.format=html

Edit: The bounty has begun.

Edit 2: in fact, git commit from the command line included my name, but TortoiseGit was unable to do this. So this is a problem with TortoiseGit.

Here's how you can change your story . You should probably also check your .mailmap file to see if there are any conflicting settings there.
