Reattribute commit from different emails to one user/email address

If you have projects on your github that contain commits you made with another email address, this project is for you!

It allows you to standardize your work to rewrite all the old commits of your old work so that they are saved with your new email address.

Before

After

And it's not all!

You can also execute any type of command on all repositories, for example : delete all .DS_Store files, or delete all .pyc files. For this, you just have to modify the file actions-git.sh to add your own command. This command will be executed on each repository. (It can be very long if you have a lot of repositories)

Don't take credit for someone else's work. Only use this project to standardize your own commits!
