Question:
I would like to change my name, surname and email in my all commits, is it possible?
Answer:
Use git-filter-branch.

1 2 3 4 |
git filter-branch --commit-filter 'if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" = "Josh Lee" ]; then export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Hobo Bob"; export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=hobo@example.com; fi; git commit-tree "$@"' |
This only affects the author, not the committer (which for most commits will be the same as the author). If you want to rewrite those as well, set the GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL variables.
The standard warning about rewriting history applies; only do it to history that has not yet been shared.
June 2018 Update
The manual now includes a solution, using --env-filter, in its examples: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-filter-branch#_examples :

git filter-branch --env-filter ' if test "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "root@localhost" then GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=john@example.com fi if test "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" = "root@localhost" then GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL=john@example.com fi ' -- --all |
