Does anyone know if it's possible to change email addresses on past commits with BFG? I have a lot of commits pushed by user "Mike Gioia <none@none>" that I would love to correct the email address for.
- taylorbuley 11y agoThat's actually a pretty straightforward operation with `git filter branch` http://stackoverflow.com/a/4494037/317937 http://stackoverflow.com/a/4494037/317937 In my experience, BFG is mostly useful for removing large files, where the bash command you need to translate data per commit can very complex.
- mikegioia 11y agoThanks, Taylor. I'll try this on a cloned repo. However, I remember trying something vaguely similar and it copied every single commit. When I checked it on github, I had duplicates of everything :( Hopefully this doesn't do that.
