A Quicker Way via git-filter-repo

copied from https://stackoverflow.com/a/60364176/1570165

git-filter-repo \
  --name-callback 'return name.replace(b"OldName", b"NewName")' \
  --email-callback 'return email.replace(b"[email protected]", b"[email protected]")'

But this will do git remote rm origin though as mentioned here, newren/git-filter-repo#46 (comment).

So having these alias might be handy like below.

alias before-fix-email='git remote rename origin not-origin'
alias after-fix-email='git remote rename not-origin origin'
alias fix-git-email="git-filter-repo --email-callback 'return email.replace(b\"[email protected]\", b\"[email protected]\")'"

And you could use like this.

before-fix-email
fix-git-email -f
after-fix-email
# and of course you could combine all these into one alias/function as you wish
