How to remove contributor of deleted commits? #22357
-
|
Want to remove contributor from a project. The only commit made by the contributor has been deleted and thus the contributor doesn’t appear in the list when I click “manage access” under the project settings. But on the project main page it still shows the contributor. How to remove the contributor from the project? |

I’d probably contact But, if my repository didn’t have any forks, I’d make a full local clone, create a new empty github repository and then push my local clone into it. I could then validate the contributors don’t have the deleted entry, rename the old repo, and rename the replacement to fill it. (And finally delete the old one.) |
