Updates the last commit's author without changing its contents.
|
|
|
|
- Use `git commit --amend` to edit the last commit.
|
|
- Use the `--author` option to change the `<name>` and `<email>` of the commit's author.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git commit --amend --author="<name> <email>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Make some changes to files
|
|
git add .
|
|
git commit --amend --author="Duck Quackers <cool.duck@qua.ck>"
|
|
# The last commit's author is now `Duck Quackers`
|
|
```
