git更新历史commit中的author信息

2020-03-07

Rewriting the history is done with “git filter-branch” by walking through the complete history. For each commit, filters are applied after which the changes are re-committed. The different filters allow modifying different parts of the commit.

The following uses “git filter-branch” to filter the history. Instead of manipulating the files to be recommitted like explained in Remove files from git history, this command uses the “–env-filter” to alter the environment in which the re-committing statement takes place.

单独clone出来当前repo

git clone --bare https://github.com/user/repo.git
cd repo.git

执行修改动作

#!/bin/sh

git filter-branch --env-filter '

OLD_EMAIL="your-old-email@example.com"
CORRECT_NAME="Your Correct Name"
CORRECT_EMAIL="your-correct-email@example.com"

if [ "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" = "$OLD_EMAIL" ]
then
    export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$CORRECT_NAME"
    export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$CORRECT_EMAIL"
fi
if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "$OLD_EMAIL" ]
then
    export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="$CORRECT_NAME"
    export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="$CORRECT_EMAIL"
fi
' --tag-name-filter cat -- --branches --tags

更新修改后的repo

git push --force --tags origin 'refs/heads/*'

最后可以删除临时的repo
