Well, during git setup somehow I have accidentally set my password as my e-mail. That was like a week ago, and there are like 20 commits with it.

I tried to change them following this: https://help.github.com/en/articles/changing-author-info#changing-the-git-history-of-your-repository-using-a-script But there is now a copy of every commit that was affected but with the correct e-mail.

This is my personal project, so changing its git history is not that big of a deal.

    If you're still very early in the project, as it seems you are, you might be better off starting a whole new repository. By design, It's notoriously difficult to remove information from a git repository entirely. – scatter Sep 13 '19 at 14:01

    And also you should change your password. – Bill Sep 13 '19 at 14:11
  • Yeah, I know, already changed it, thanks for the reminder. I have thought that it will be hard to do and given that I am in fact early in the project, I think I really just start a completely new repository. – Rud Ein Sep 13 '19 at 14:29
