Reset GitHub credentials

How can I reset my GitHub credentials on macOS to switch to a different account? Currently, when I push changes, Git automatically uses my existing GitHub account without prompting me to log in. I’ve deleted all Git-related entries in Keychain Access, but new entries are generated every time I push, and it still uses the old account. I want Git to prompt me to sign in again after pushing.

Is there a way to set an upstream repository for an existing GitHub repo that was improperly uploaded and commited to?

i’ve been working on a small coding project with a few friends. In this project, they downloaded an open source online game (Space station 13, if you’re curious) and uploaded their modifications to github as a new Repo. This works fine, but when working with original code, I cannot see history from the original game we downstreamed from, just showing as “Initial commit” since it was a source code uploaded opposed to properly downstreaming their repo. I am wondering, would it be possible to set the original repo as an upstream now, or would it be pretty much impossible at this point? (there’s like 5 years of commits and I joined the group relatively recently.)
