git reauthor

Change details about an author identity. Since this command rewrites the Git history, --force will be needed when pushing next time. Part of git-extras. More information: https://github.com/tj/git-extras/blob/main/Commands.md#git-reauthor.

• Change an author's email and name across the whole Git repository:

git reauthor {{[-o|--old-email]}} {{old@example.com}} {{[-e|--correct-email]}} {{new@example.com}} {{[-n|--correct-name]}} "{{name}}"

• Change the email and name to the ones defined in the Git config:

git reauthor {{[-o|--old-email]}} {{old@example.com}} {{[-c|--use-config]}}

• Change the email and name of all commits, regardless of their original author:

git reauthor {{[-a|--all]}} {{[-e|--correct-email]}} {{name@example.com}} {{[-n|--correct-name]}} {{name}}
