How to amend several commits in Git to change author

by

Warning: now deprecated in favor of filter-repo.

Rebase/amend seems inefficient, when you have the power of filter-branch at your fingertips:

git filter-branch --env-filter 'if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "incorrect@email" ]; then
     GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=correct@email;
     GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Correct Name";
     GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL=$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL;
     GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"; fi' -- --all

(split across lines for clarity, but not necessary)

Be sure to inspect the result when you’re done, to make sure that you didn’t change anything you didn’t mean to!
