Hello.

I've started a repository in a project of mine, but I forgot to change the commiter name to the nickname and email I'll use in the project along with my teammates.

So, it's there a way to change them it in the commits I've done?

Thanks a lot in advance!

If you haven't published your changes, simply rewrite your history via git filter-branch; see its manpage for details.

If you *have* published your changes, you can't change committer details without changing the SHA1 of the commits.
