If you want to change author’s and/or committer’s name and/or email in given GIT revisions, you can use the following script:
git filter-branch -f --commit-filter '
if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" = "Old Author" ];
then
export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME = "New Author";
export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL = "new_author@example.com";
export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME = "New Author";
export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL = "new_author@example.com";
fi;
git commit-tree "$@"'
Now update the remote (bare) repository
git push --force --tags origin 'refs/heads/*'

If you forget about this during your development you might start fighting serious problems in the future.
Therefore I’ve written two short code snippets for numbers conversion for INPUT (save to database) and OUTPUT (display to the user) Continue reading
