I saw that GitHub had a name change feature, and the loss seemed not very problematic for me. However, I realized after the fact that I had been using my old name's @users.noreply.github.com to commit and everything. So, that old email had all my previous commits linked together. Is there any way to fix this issue?
I have been thinking maybe I could create an account with my previous name and just have people who are interested go through that link? Rebasing the repo or anything like that is not quite applicable in this case as I have contributed code to other repositories so my old commits would still be outstanding over there without a name or email to link the account with.
The other way I have been thinking is to just change my name back, but I suppose this is the last resort. It kind of is unfortunate, but I guess due to the way Git works it just has to be like so. (I have now switched to my gmail email to avoid this in the future in case)
