Hello,
I've got a few private repos that I am the sole contributor to, but some commits are under my usual Git author+email. These commits are automated, and I'd like to rewrite commits that match the commit message (the message is consistent) and the 'old' author+email to a new author+email, but retain the commit message.
The tool that springs to mind is `git-filter-branch`. However, I've also come across `git-filter-repo` on GitHub.
I'm a little confused, and I wanted to ask for advice on the list. I did try using `git-filter-branch`, but got lost quickly with `--commit-filter/`--msg-filter`.
I also found a 'users' Git mailing list on Google Groups, but by the warning I got from Google, it has a spam issue. If this is the wrong place to ask for help, please do let me know.
Thank you.
