Change-Commit-Author.md

To change the author only for the last commit:

git commit --amend --author 'Author Name <[email protected]>' --no-edit

Suppose you only want to change the author for the last N commits:

git rebase -i HEAD~4 -x "git commit --amend --author 'Author Name <[email protected]>' --no-edit"

NOTES

the --no-edit flag makes sure the git commit --amend doesn't ask an extra confirmation

when you use git rebase -i, you can manually select the commits where to change the author,

the file you edit will look like this:

pick 897fe9e simplify code a little
pick abb60f9 add new feature
exec git commit --a
