This message gets used when the author was set from gecos because not available in the configuration. Do you perhaps mean: If the identity used for this commit is wrong, you can fix it with: git commit --amend --author='Your Name [off-list ref]' git commit --amend --author='Your Name [off-list ref]' or cat <<EOF >>~/.gitconfig [user] name = Your Name email = you@example.com EOF git commit --amend --reset-author ?
