Alright, so I commited some changes with a git username that was saved on my work laptop. After I changed the git username and useremail and pushed the branch to the remote repo, I have several commits under the initial username, and others under the changed username.

Is it possible to either undo the commits under the initial username, merge them into a commit with the current username and push the branch with one single commit that has the changed username ?

As above so below

Assume you have 3 commits you want to retract and squash into one:

git reset --soft HEAD~3
git commit
git push -f

First, reset Git HEAD to the point before those commits, preserving all content. Then create a new commit as usual, with current names, and force push to override the commits on GitHub.
