Change the email address for a git commit.

git-commit-author-rewrite.md

Change the email address for a git commit.

$ git commit --amend --author="Author Name <email@address.com>"

or

$ git commit --amend --reset-author

If you need to change the author for a commit older than the most recent, do a git rebase -i. For example, if you wanted to change the penultimate commit, you'd run:

$ git rebase -i HEAD~2

Then choose e or edit next to the appopriate commit, then when it asks you to amend, run the same command as you would for the most recent commit:

$ git commit --amend --reset-author

Then, to finish, you'd run:

$ git rebase --continue

And you're done. Don't forget you'll have to --force push if you've already pushed those commits to your remote.

Thank you so much! Just what I was looking for 💯

This saved me with my commit that had the incorrect email address without jeopardizing the existing comments on an already in-review PR!
Thanks much

@jcnars, happy it helped!

git commit --amend --reset-author --no-edit is cool to skip the editor.
