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! -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Change-author-in-commits-tp1686491p1686491.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ``` ## David Symonds, 2008-12-21 13:26 Subject: Re: Change author in commits Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/ee77f5c20812210526p745f44b0m86ff18ffa815cea4%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <1229862451693-1686491.post@n2.nabble.com> ``` On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 11:27 PM, Ángel Eduardo wrote: > 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? 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. Dave. ```
