git reauthor

Change details about an author identity. Since this command rewrites the Git history, `--force` will be needed when pushing next time.

Part of `git-extras`.

More information.

Change an author's email and name across the whole Git repository:

git reauthor --old-email {old@example.com} --correct-email {new@example.com} --correct-name "{name}"

Change the email and name to the ones defined in the Git config:

git reauthor --old-email {old@example.com} --use-config

Change the email and name of all commits, regardless of their original author:

git reauthor --all --correct-email {name@example.com} --correct-name {name}
