How to change the author of the specific commit (Everything up to date)

I am going to change the author of a specific commit but git says "Everything up to date".

What I have done is like below.

git rebase -i ed467b32 // ed467b32 is the previous commit id

git commit --amend --author="new auth name <[email protected]>"

git rebase --continue

git push origin branch -f

But after that, git says "Everything up to date".

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

What are you choosing for the interactive rebasing?

You have to edit the commit and then change the author.

Here is an example with one commit:

git log -1

commit <COMMIT_SHA>
Author: author_name <author_email>
....

git rebase -i HEAD~1

pick <COMMIT_SHA> ... # This will be opened in your editor of choice.

Change pick to edit, save and leave.
Then you can edit the commit.
In your case you only need to edit the author, so: git commit --amend --author="...."
When you are done git rebase --continue
