Rewrites the author and committer on commits with a wrong identity, then force-pushes after access checks, a mirror backup and a confirmation gate. Use when a commit has the wrong name or email.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Git Author Rewrite Replace the identity stamped on a commit — the `author` and `committer` name/email headers — with an identity the user actually owns, then force-push. The file tree, the commit messages, and the dates are preserved byte-for-byte; only the identity headers and, as a consequence, every affected commit hash change. Why the ceremony: identity lives *inside* the commit object, so changing it changes the commit's hash, and every descendant commit's hash with it. That makes this an irreversible rewrite of a shared remote, not an edit. The steps below each close a specific way it goes wrong: rewriting a hash range far larger than the user pictured, pushing without write access, replacing one unowned email with another unowned email so the attribution still doesn't land, silently invalidating signatures, or force-pushing over a teammate's commit you never saw. A second clone that never got reset will push the old identity back the next day. ## Core principle …

How to install
mdr add khasky/awesome-agent-skills/awesome-git-author-rewrite@sha256:5cca8ba2af015e6dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.a19c2a5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
