| If: | |
| - you add and commit with the wrong email address in git, and | |
| - your remote has a hook set up to prevent you from pushing with the bad address | |
| Then you need to amend the author of your commit before push can succeed: | |
| 1. fix your email address in git config: | |
| $ git config user.name "Your Name" | |
| $ git config user.email "your@address.com" | |
| $ git submodule foreach --recursive 'git config user.name "Your Name" && git config user.email "your@address.com"' | |
| 2. then do a rebase: | |
| $ git rebase -i HEAD~1 | |
| # git brings up your editor. | |
| 3. in the editor, mark the commit as 'edit' then save and exit the editor | |
| 4. do an amend that resets the author now that your address is changed: | |
| $ git commit --amend --reset-author | |
| 5. finish with a rebase: | |
| $ git rebase --continue | |
| # git says: | |
| # Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/master. | |
