NAME

git_log_ch_usrdata - Change username and email address in git log

SYNOPSIS

git_log_ch_usrdata --old_email OLD_EMAIL --new_email NEW_EMAIL  \
                   --new_user NEW_USER [--no_credentials]

git_log_ch_usrdata --help | --version

or, shorter:

git_log_ch_usrdata --oe OLD_EMAIL --ne NEW_EMAIL --nu NEW_USER [--nc]

DESCRIPTION

In case that you are using an incorrect username and/or email address in a Git repository, you can use this script to correct the Git log.

Change to your git repo directory and run the script like this:

git_log_ch_usrdata --old_email OLD_EMAIL --new_email NEW_EMAIL --new_user NEW_USER

The options can be written shorter like this:

git_log_ch_usrdata --oe OLD_EMAIL --ne NEW_EMAIL --nu NEW_USER

By default, the script also stores NEW_EMAIL and NEW_USER via git config credential.helper store. This can be switched off by specifying the --no_credentials (or --nc) option.
