Subject: commit --amend --author error
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2015 16:15:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <54B4D428.2050300@irisgermanica.com> (raw)
I got APGL licensed code from someone else and want to post it on my
github (without taking credit for the work)
tried git commit --amend --author="Author name, www.website.com" but
got an error message which said something like "original author not found"
Can it be that the --amen --author only work if the author is on github
himself?
