Reset your username to the config globally: git config --global user.name example.
Reset your email to the config globally: git config --global user.email example@email.com.
Now reset the author of your commit without edit required: git commit --amend --reset-author --no-edit.

Update commit author

Comment

When changing commit author, or removing private email

git config the proper author info and run:

git rebase -i YOUR_SHA -x "git commit --amend --reset-author -CHEAD"

To specify autho info directly

git rebase -i YOUR_SHA -x "git commit --amend --author 'New Name ' -CHEAD"
