git rebase -i <earliercommit>
for each commit you want to change:
    change the text from "pick" to "edit"
    git commit --amend --author="Author Name <email@address.com>"
    git rebase --continue
git rebase --continue

done

alternatively, doing amend without open editor:

git rebase -i <earliercommit>
for each commit you want to change:
    change the text from "pick" to "edit"
    git commit --amend --reset-author --no-edit --author="Author Name <email@address.com>"
    git rebase --continue
git rebase --continue

done
