I am trying to change the author name/email in my github commit. i found this script somewhere in google.

git filter-branch --env-filter 'GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="pubmem";GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="pubmem@something.net";GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="pubmem";GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="pubmem@something.net";' HEAD

this give me error Cannot rewrite branches: You have unstaged changes.

how to fix this problem, any help would be appreciate?

Thank you

Issue this command:

git status

Your unstaged changes should be listed there. Add them all with 

git add .

or add them individually. To change author name, did you try this?

    Or, if you're not ready to add them, you can temporarily move them out of the way by calling `git stash`. When you are finished with your operations, you can restore those changes with `git stash pop`. – nofinator May 06 '14 at 15:36
