I just realized that I project I've been doing some work on at work was using the global config file on that box because I had forgotten to a project specific config to change my identity. Is there any way for me to edit the history so that the Author of all of those commits is changed to my personal identity?

If you haven't published your branch you can use git-filter-branch to rewrite using the --env-filter "export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME=... etc" -- robin ``` ## Tim Visher, 2009-02-24 22:16 Subject: Re: Altering Previous Commits' Author Field.
