我如何从git存储库中删除作者？ [英] How do I remove an author from a git repository?

问题描述

如果我创建了一个Git仓库并公开发布它（例如，在GitHub等），并且我收到了贡献者对仓库的请求，无论出于何种原因删除或遮盖了它们的名称，是否有这样一种方法可以轻松完成？

基本上，我有这样的要求，可能希望用匿名贡献者或者SHA-1哈希替代他们的名字和电子邮件地址的电子邮件地址或类似的东西。

解决方案

Jeff很正确，正确的轨道是git filter-branch。它期望一个与环境变量一起使用的脚本。对于你的用例，你可能想要这样的东西：

  git filter-branch --env-filter'
如果[$ GIT_AUTHOR_NAME=Niko Schwarz];然后\ 
导出GIT_AUTHOR_NAME =Jon DoeGIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL =[e-mail]; \ 
 fi 
'
  

您可以测试它是否如此工作：

  $ cd / tmp 
 $ mkdir filter-branch&& cd filter-branch 
 $ git init 
 /private/tmp/filter-branch/.git/中初始化的空Git存储库
 $ 
 $ touch hi&& git add。 &安培;&安培; git commit -m bla 
 [master（root-commit）081f7f5] bla 
 0个文件已更改，0个插入（+），0个删除（ - ）
创建模式100644 hi 
 $ echo howdi>>嗨&& git commit -a -m bla 
 [master a466a18] bla 
 1个文件已更改，1个插入（+），0个删除（ - ）

请注意。没有办法删除作者的名字而不会使所有后来的提交哈希无效。这将使以后合并使用您的存储库的人的痛苦。

If I create a Git repository and publish it publicly (e.g. on GitHub etc.), and I get a request from a contributor to the repository to remove or obscure their name for whatever reason, is there a way of doing so easily?

Basically, I have had such a request and may want to replace their name and e-mail address with something like "Anonymous Contributor" or maybe a SHA-1 hash of their e-mail address or something like that.

解决方案

Jeff is quite right, the right track is git filter-branch. It expects a script that plays with the environment variables. For your use case, you probably want something like this:

git filter-branch --env-filter '
    if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" = "Niko Schwarz" ]; then \
        export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Jon Doe" GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="[e-mail]"; \
    fi
    '

You can test that it works like this:

$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir filter-branch && cd filter-branch
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /private/tmp/filter-branch/.git/
$ 
$ touch hi && git add . && git commit -m bla
[master (root-commit) 081f7f5] bla
 0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 hi
$ echo howdi >> hi && git commit -a -m bla
[master a466a18] bla
 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

Please beware. There's no way to delete the author's name without invalidating all later commit hashes. That will make later merging a pain for people that have been using your repository.
