Git Rewriting history with filter-branch Changing the author of commits
Example
You can use an environment filter to change the author of commits. Just modify and export $GIT_AUTHOR_NAME in the script to change who authored the commit.
Create a file filter.sh with contents like so:
if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" = "Author to Change From" ]
then
export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Author to Change To"
export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="[email protected]"
fi
Then run filter-branch from the command line:
chmod +x ./filter.sh
git filter-branch --env-filter ./filter.sh
