How to sync local history after massive git history rewrite?

QUESTION

Push to GitHub mistakenly done by another GitHub account

Asked 2021-Mar-15 at 08:06

I had a local repository named a which had been already associated with a remote repository named A of GitHub account A-github, and I also had a local repository named b which had not been associated with any remote repository yet.

I created a new remote repository named B of GitHub account B-github, and I tried to do the first push to B from local repository b.

What happened

The push succeeded and I saw the page of B reflected the commits of b.
However, the name of the user who had done the first push displayed on the page of B was not the name of b, but the name of the other GitHub account A-github.(The icon image was also the same as set in A-github page)
And when I clicked the name of the user who first pushed ( A-github), I went to the page of A-github account.
What is weird is that this happening is not recorded on Contribution activity on the Overview page of A-github.

My guess

I'm guessing this was the problem of git config of the local repository b. I tried git config -l and found that user.name and user.email were doubled like this:

First, do a git config -l --show-scope --show-origin in your repository: that way, you will be sure to see what is a local config, which overrides a global config.

Second, you can use git filter-repo to change the user.name/email of your commits in repoB: yo will then need to git push --force it (which is not a big issue if you are alone working on that new repository).

QUESTION

Using GitKraken: GIT commit author is showing as unknown

Asked 2018-Jan-25 at 05:33

I am using Gitkraken for my Github source code control. I have followed this approach but still failed.

But when I type below command and I can get my name shows.

$ git config --global user.name My Name

But, it still shows Unknown in my GitKraken. I know the one with SourceTree can use the git config --global user.name "Name" trick.

Please help, thanks!

I suspect the problem is that the global user was not set when GitKraken first created the profile. As described in the GK documentation:

When setting Profiles in Preferences > Profiles, GitKraken will automatically use the name and email address in your global .gitconfig file.

If that wasn't set, however, you might be shown as Unknown. You can change this by editing your profile either in the aforementioned Preferences > Profiles screen or by clicking on your profile picture in the top right (next to the magnifying glass), select Edit next to your profile, and provide your name and email in the respective fields.

Note that if Keep my Git config updated with my profile info is checked in your GK Preferences > Profiles, changing this in your default GK profile will automatically update your global git config.

QUESTION

How to sync local history after massive git history rewrite?

Asked 2018-Jan-15 at 18:27

The question may seem odd, but I have issues syncing git history after rewriting over 100 commits.

On the machine I did rewrite from, a simple git fetch synced it all.

On another mac machine, git sync did not help, but after a random deleting of local .git/ log and refs files and then issuing git pull, history got refreshed.

However, no matter what I do on the Windows machine, I cannot refresh project history. Tried it all:

git reset --hard HEAD & git fetch
git fetch --all
git pull
etc

Each time on Windows machines, I get duplicated entries (I changed Author fields) of the same commit with a different author.

I followed massive history rewrite using this tutorial:

On the second machine, first run git fetch, not git pull. Then for each branch whose history was rewritten, you need to do git reset --hard HEAD. Note that this command only works with the current branch. So if more than one branch was affected by the history rewrite, you need to checkout and reset each one.
