Hi,

for reasons, I had to change the name and email address for all commits within my repository, that were made by a specific user*. This worked fine so far and all affected commits have been rewritten. I’ve also removed all releases/tags, wich referenced this specific user, so it doesn’t appear anywhere, except for the list of Contributors. Did I miss something, or isn’t there a way to get rid of this specific user (except for forcing him to delete his account ^^).

Btw, the user isn’t listed in the contributors overview (Insights) anymore. Just in the contributors box on the repositories index page.

* =

git filter-branch --env-filter '
WRONG_EMAIL="xxx"
NEW_NAME="yyy"
NEW_EMAIL="zzz"
if [ "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" = "$WRONG_EMAIL" ]

then

export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$NEW_NAME"

export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$NEW_EMAIL"

fi

if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "$WRONG_EMAIL" ]

then

export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="$NEW_NAME"

export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="$NEW_EMAIL"

fi

' --tag-name-filter cat -- --branches --tags
