Removing <user> committed with <user> on Github

问题

I have a number of commits on github that look like this:

Is there a way of rebasing so that I can get rid of this and simply have the commit marked as by me?

回答1:

First I would check that your git is configured with the correct user information. Run git config --list to verify that everything is correct.

You can also try playing with interactive rebasing to edit a commit.

1. Enter interactive rebase git rebase -i <commit ID>
2. Change the commit you want to change to edit, save and exit
3. Recommit with a different author git commit --amend --author="Author Name <email@address.com>

回答2:

Similar to Question Change commit author at one specific commit.

With only a few commits you can manually do:

1. git rebase --root -i to rebase everything from current HEAD to its root.
2. change the lines for all commits to edit
3. The rebase starts now at the first commit
4. Amend current commit: git commit --amend --author "Name <email>"
5. Continue the rebase: git rebase --continue
6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 until all commits are through

"Name <email>" has to be your wished name and email of course.

With more than a few commits this manual approach might get cumbersome.

PS: This messes up your repo-history, because the author information is included when generating the sha-hash for the commit. So do this with care. Next time set up your user.name and user.email properly.
