--reset-author is very useful, thanks!

jdhao commented 2 years ago

Yeah, it is easier than manually set author in command line. I prefer to use --reset-author.

baggiponte commented 2 years ago

does --reset-author not need to specify the new author + email address?

jdhao commented 2 years ago

@baggiponte You can set the author and email info for your repo via:

git config user.name xxx
git config user.email xx@xxx.xx

Then when you use --reset-author, it will use the new author name and email automatially.
