git: How to change the author of the commit

If you want to change the author of the specific commit (for example the latest one), run rebase command:

git rebase -i HEAD~1

HEAD~1 points to the latest commit, but it can be a commit id or branch name. To mark a commit for edit, replace `pick` with `e`:

Replace commit author:

git commit --amend --author "Your Name <your.name@mail.com>" 

Finish rebase:

git rebase --continue
