git reauthor

  • Change an author's email and name across the whole Git repository:
    git reauthor --old-email {{[email protected]}} --correct-email {{[email protected]}} --correct-name "{{name}}"
  • Change the email and name to the ones defined in the Git config:
    git reauthor --old-email {{[email protected]}} --use-config
  • Change the email and name of all commits, regardless of their original author:
    git reauthor --all --correct-email {{[email protected]}} --correct-name {{name}}
