Commiter email address does not match in IntelliJ even changing it to correct one

Question

When I try to push my commits from git repository to gerrit remote repository from Linux environment in IntelliJ idea I get the following error:

remote: ERROR:           


        

Answer 1

I experienced the same error when our corporate email address changed and for me was easily fixed with :

#!/bin/sh

git filter-branch --env-filter '

OLD_EMAIL="your-old-email@example.com"
CORRECT_NAME="Your Correct Name"
CORRECT_EMAIL="your-correct-email@example.com"

if [ "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" = "$OLD_EMAIL" ]
then
export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$CORRECT_NAME"
export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$CORRECT_EMAIL"
fi
if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "$OLD_EMAIL" ]
then
export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="$CORRECT_NAME"
export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="$CORRECT_EMAIL"
fi
' --tag-name-filter cat -- --branches --tags

Run in the root of the git repo.

Based on : https://help.github.com/en/github/using-git/changing-author-info

I also edited the repo's .git/config to add the user stanza :

[user]
  name = Your Correct Name
  email = your-correct-email@example.com

Then

git commit --amend --reset-author
git push

PS: This is on a Gerrit Server
