I looked into the issue and the only correct solution currently is to "create a custom layout", this is ultra easy and can be done in 1min. The steps are:
_config.yml
file you need to create a folder named "_layouts/" and in that new folder create a file named "default.html"<h1>{{ page.title | default: site.title | default: site.github.repository_name }}</h1>
with this line <h1>{{ site.title | default: site.github.repository_name }}</h1>
<p>{{ page.description | default: site.description | default: site.github.project_tagline }}</p>
with <p>{{ site.description | default: site.github.project_tagline }}</p>
In you want to remove these changes to get back the original behaviour, simply delete the "_layout/" folder (that normally contains the "default.html" file we created.
If you want to understand the issue, this is due to the parsing of the "index.md" file, when parsed the first header title is use to set the page.title
variable. In the lines I highlighted in the steps below the behaviour is first to check if the markdown as a title then only if not use the title set by the user (and if there isn't use the repository name).
Currently pages aren't Github priority so current merge request seems to be not checked and merged by maintainers. Secondly I don't know if it's a bug or not, some theme as this "issue" in the HTML code, some don't have this syntax.
Yes there is something weird in the way the HTML of the page template is done, the documentation here is not correct, the theme don't respect the following variables by default. But there is a solution, not ideal but still.
There is an other solution, maybe simpler. You can use front matter YAML syntax to "force" the title you want by editing your "index.md".

I already set my "title" in _config.yml but the theme shows my first Header
