error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:gengwg/xxxxx.git'

The steps I took to fix (thanks for the advice on this thread) were roughly as follows:

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git rebase -i
git commit --amend --reset-author
git rebase --continue
git push

I found rebase -i allowed be to edit the commit message but retained the previous (private) email address in the log.

The commit --amend --reset-author seemed to be the easiest way to replace the offending email address.

I agree with dmvianna after git commit --ammend --reset-author there is no need to rebase. I went ahead and pushed it worked. Thanks for this solution.
