Change user email and user in an already pushed commit

[tzach solomon]

Hi All,

I have a commit where I wrote the wrong email and user and I would like to change it.
I understand this might be a noob question but is there a way to change the email and user name on the already pushed commit?

Thanks,

Tzach

 That will require rewriting the history of the local repository and will require rewriting the history on the locations where it was pushed.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3042437/how-to-change-the-commit-author-for-one-specific-commit provides several different ways to do it and includes good descriptions of the risks associated with those alternatives.

I've generally found that it is not worth the risk to change the email and user name of an already pushed commit.

Thanks Mark. 
Yeah, I guess it isn't worth the risk.

Thanks for the quick response (and on Sunday!), I appreciate it! :)
