(Azure DevOps only) What format is your remote URL?

None

Can you access the remote repository directly in the browser?

Yes, I can access the repository

Expected behavior

I ma using personal (alekdavis) and work (alekdavisintel) accounts, so when I try to push code, I get a prompt to select one of them. I select the personal account, but the repo always shows the commit by my work account (see https://github.com/alekdavis/httpyac-extras).

Actual behavior

The commits in remote always show my work account.

Research direction

The report names no file or test entry point. Start by reproducing the push flow on Windows with two GitHub accounts, selecting the personal credential, and comparing the resulting remote commit attribution. Done means the selected credential is honored and the commit is attributed to the intended account.
