So I couldn't find similar questions.

I need to share a local git repo with all local branches, stashes, labels, and so on, without actually pushing to my organization's remote, since I do not have access.
To do this, I was planning to upload the zip of the local repo in an email, which they later can push to an official remote.
How can I remove all my credentials from the .git directory? Like my name, email and so on. Like I am fine for it to show in the history. I just don't want it show automatically later on. Also, are any passwords stored in the .git folder?

see https://stackoverflow.com/a/42595596/5784831. Why do you want to remove your name or email? – Christoph Sep 23 '20 at 14:26
@Christoph Because I want to send it via email to my coworkers so that they can push it to remote after I've left. But they can still locally use it with my credentials. So I would like to clear them all. – Aditya Sep 24 '20 at 15:02

But they can do that - they can any remote they like. – Christoph Sep 24 '20 at 17:56
