I'm a novice, and I need to correct the author name in my initial commits. I'm reading the excellent Bitbucket documentation, particularly the chapter on "undoing changes", but nothing seems to work: No matter what I try, the commits with the bad author name remain in my local file and also in the Bitbucket file. If there is no way to fix this, can I just start over from scratch?
I don't think you can easily change the author of an existing Git commit.
I will require a heavier operation and will lead to problems if you already published the commit. But if you can accept those, then here is a guide.
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
