When I started using git I just did a git init
and started calling add
and commit
. Now I am starting to pay attention and I can see that my commits are showing up as cowens@localmachine
, rather than the address I want. It appears as if setting GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
will do what I want, but I still have those old commits with the wrong email address/name. How can I correct the old commits?
