Replacing Personal Emails or Usernames in Git Commit History

Replacing Emails or Usernames in Git Commit History

If you accidentally used your personal email (or an embarrassing username) in your git commits on a public repo like me, here's a quick fix.

But before you start, please note this is only for simple repos without (active) collaborators. Modifying git commmit history on remote can break things for your collaborators.

We'll use the powerful git-filter-repo tool.

Preperation

  1. Install git-filter-repo, e.g. brew install git-filter-repo.

Fix corrupted exFAT disk macOS/OSX

exFAT support on macOS seems to have some bugs because my external drives with exFAT formatting will randomly get corrupted.

If Disk Utility is unable to repair, consider trying this:

  1. In Disk Utility, ensure that the drive is not mounted, eject it if it is mounted.
  2. Use diskutil list to find the right drive id.
  3. You want the id under the IDENTIFIER column, it should look like disk1s1
  4. Run sudo fsck_exfat -d <id from above>. eg sudo fsck_exfat -d disk1s3
  5. -d is debug so you'll see all your files output as they're processed.
