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://qRoman@github.com': <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 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

  • "but pushed using the default user" --- what does this mean? – zerkms Mar 14 '15 at 08:54
  • by default user, I meant the user currently set for that repo (which is Alendorff) – d1xlord Mar 14 '15 at 08:56
  • Well, if you check the question once again you will see, that OP put the credentials of another user specifically for the push operation. – zerkms Mar 14 '15 at 08:57

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