How to push to remote repo under another user

I check this question about commit under another author git commit as different user without email / or only email
How can I also push to remote repo under another login. I do: 

git commit --author="notMe" -m "whatever"
git push https://<remote-repo>
Username for 'https://github.com': notMe
Password for 'https://[email protected]': <notMe's password>

But as result I got this: commit & push result How can I commit & push like another author?

UPD: I tried git config user.name "notMe" and result is:
result
It's almost what I want but why my avatar is still here?

You need to specify both the name and the email of the author of a commit to entirely vanish traces of your current account.

You created the commit as the author "notMe" but pushed using the current user for that repo (which is Alendorff). You can change the user for that repo by :

git config user.name "Billy Everyteen"

You can also check the current user for a repo by : 

git config user.name
