You need to directly change the username/email in the config, in order to commit from a another account.

$ git config --global user.name "GithubUsername"

$ git config --global user.email "Email"

As of 2018 "delete" is deprecated, use reject instead.

git credential-manager reject <url>

OR

git config --global credential.helper wincred

Next time when you do a git action such as clone, push, pull etc the username & password prompt will appear for you to enter the new credentials you want to use.
