Updating email of committer #366

Closed jeffreytjs closed 4 years ago

jeffreytjs commented 4 years ago

So I was wondering why some of my commits seemed to not have my profile pic then I noticed that the commits made through sourcetree were being attributed to another email of mine. Long story (included below) short, I am trying to correct it but currently facing some difficulty. I am following this guide and it is resulting in duplicated commits. And when I try to preview the PR, it is showing 900+ commits.

Including this here partly because it was meant to be my initial issue post: Previously my tp fork was quite messy because I tried to resolve the conflicts arising from the duplicated commits by merging and I made a mistake by mass merging without checking. After quite a bit of searching. I managed to hard revert it back to the commit before all the above were done.

Would appreciate any help if anyone has been through this or knows a bit more about the process! Thanks!

You can follow the first remedy given in https://nus-cs2103-ay2021s1.github.io/website/admin/tools.html#tool-reposense-for-authorship-tracking

Don't update past commits as doing so will change the time stamp of those commits, which will make it look like you didn't contribute in past weeks.

Oh thank you Prof for the fast response, I believe most of my commits are detected but I will definitely look through the reposense again.

I shall delay the email update to after this module has concluded then so as not to cause inconveniences.
