Yes, there is a way to change that. You can do...
$ git config --global user.name "Romain Forlot "
$ git config --global user.email "rforlot@yahoo.com"

...to reset your email and username preferences. That will always do 'git commit' as "Romain Forlot <rforlot@yahoo.com>."

You can also do....

$ git commit -a -m "message" --author Romain Forlot <rforlot@yahoo.com>

--author overrides whatever the config setting is.

HTH,

P.S. Those only apply to new commits; I don't know of a way to edit an existing commit.

Hi,

I do my first commit on user guide doc but I do not have configured git to use a specific name and mail address. So, I see that my git commit using 'git log' showing Claneys Skyne
"Author: Claneys Skyne <claneys.skyne@gmail.com>"
instead of:
"Author: Romain Forlot <rforlot@yahoo.com>"

Is it possible to change that ?

Thanks.
