Re: Wrong author name in git commit

    Yes, there is a way to change that. You can do...

    $ git config --global user.name "Romain Forlot "

    $ git config --global user.email "rforlot@xxxxxxxxx"

    
    ...to reset your email and username preferences. That will always do
    'git commit' as "Romain Forlot <rforlot@xxxxxxxxx>."

    
    You can also do....

    
    $ git commit -a -m "message" --author Romain Forlot
    <rforlot@xxxxxxxxx>

    
    --author overrides whatever the config setting is.

    
    HTH,

    Deon

    
    P.S. Those only apply to new commits; I don't know of a way to edit
    an existing commit.

      Hi,

      
      I do my first commit on user guide doc but I do not have
        configured git to use a specific name and mail address. So, I
        see that my git commit using 'git log' showing Claneys Skyne 
      "Author: Claneys Skyne <claneys.skyne@xxxxxxxxx>"
      instead of:
      "Author: Romain Forlot <rforlot@xxxxxxxxx>"
      

      Is it possible to change that ?

      
      Thanks.
