-# Changing Git Author/Email Based on Previously Committed Email
-
-Here's the dilemma: You've been committing changes to your git repository with
-an incorrect name or email (or multiple repositories), and now you want to fix
-it. Luckily, there's a semi-reliable way to fix that. While I have never
-experienced issues with this method, some people have warned that it can mess
-with historical hashes and integrity of commits, so use this method only if
-you're okay accepting that risk.
-
-Okay, let's create the bash script:
-
-```sh
-nano change_git_authors.sh
-```
-
-The following information can be pasted directly into your bash script. The only
-changes you need to make are to the following variables:
-
--   `OLD_EMAIL`
--   `CORRECT_NAME`
--   `CORRECT_EMAIL`
-
-```sh
-#!/bin/sh
-
-# List all sub-directories in the current directory
-for dir in */
-do
-    # Remove the trailing "/"
-    dir=${dir%*/}
-    # Enter sub-directory
-    cd $dir
-
-    git filter-branch --env-filter '
-
-    OLD_EMAIL="old@example.com"
-    CORRECT_NAME="your-new-name"
-    CORRECT_EMAIL="new@example.com"
-
-    if [ "$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
-
-    git push --force --tags origin 'refs/heads/*'
-
-    cd ..
-done
-```
-
-Finally, save the bash script and make it executable.
-
-```sh
-chmod a+x change_git_authors.sh
-```
-
-Now you can run the script and should see the process begin.
-
-```sh
-./change_git_authors.sh
-```
