You can change author of your commits to anyone. Let's make all the commits of the current repository Torvalds's :D Luckily we know his email address so this will be very easy. Just run: ```bash git filter-branch --env-filter ' OLD_EMAIL="old_email@domain.com" CORRECT_NAME="Linus Torvals" CORRECT_EMAIL="torvalds@linux-foundation.org" if [ "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" = "$OLD_EMAIL" ] then export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$CORRECT_NAME" export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$CORRECT_EMAIL" fi if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "$OLD_EMAIL" ] then export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="$CORRECT_NAME" export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="$CORRECT_EMAIL" fi ' --tag-name-filter cat -- --branches --tags ``` and we are done! :D ![Linus Torvalds is here](https://raw.github.com/Asocia/til/master/img/linus.jpg)
