You have an url in the repo config. of course you can change it between the commit and the push, but that's not the general case.
Nowadays, most git projects have a preferred git hosting, and your name/email with the project match the credentials you use to push (otherwise things like gitlab/github issues trackers would not work at all).

Then you do not use git credentials and have to configure all by hand. Which will usually be a major error-prone PITA, so you’ll end up pushing to the system that matches the ID you want to se in git logs, and then push from this system to others.
