If I'm not mistaken, they are not talking about your GitHub username
(or wherever you're hosing your repository). They are talking about the
Git username that you set with git config.
$ git config --list
user.name=Robert Walker
user.email=
na...@example.com
...
...
This information will show up in git log indicating the author of the
changes at the time they were committed. It has nothing to do with
authentication for accessing the Git repository. That, as you mentioned,
is handled separately from :scm_username thorough something like ssh as
you mentioned.
