Do you perhaps mean: If the identity used for this commit is wrong, you can fix it with: git commit --amend --author='Your Name <you@xxxxxxxxxxx>' git commit --amend --author='Your Name <you@xxxxxxxxxxx>' or cat <<EOF >>~/.gitconfig [user] name = Your Name email = you@xxxxxxxxxxx EOF git commit --amend --reset-author ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
