Useful commands to amend author and committer information.

First, basics. Setting user name and email:

# local, for project level
git config user.name "Kanan Rahimov"
git config user.email mail@kenanbek.me

# global
git config --global user.name "Kanan Rahimov"
git config --global user.email mail@kenanbek.me

Amend author information:

git commit --amend --author="Kanan Rahimov <mail@kenanbek.me>" --no-edit

Reset author and committer information for the most recent commit:

git commit --amend --no-edit --reset-author

Reset author and committer information for entire history:

git rebase -r --root --exec "git commit --amend --no-edit --reset-author"
