I committed using the incorrect git user. Who can help me fix this?
Hi list, I'm so sorry, but I did exactly what the big red box on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Publishing_new_pa... says not to do: I committed using the incorrect git user. Who can help me fix this? Thanks, demir
Hi, You can do that by: `git commit --amend --author="Author Name <email@address.com>" --no-edit` But you will also have to force-push this kind of modification. If it's for an AUR package, it's not a big deal. If it's for an actual Arch package, I don't know what kind of other implications it brings.

Hey, The last time I tried to force push something to the AUR, the AUR rejected it. I don't think you can force push to the AUR. -- Cheers, Aᴀʀᴏɴ
That's correct, only Arch "Package Maintainers" can force push. Demir was correct to reach out on the mailing list. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Package_Maintainers On Fri, Aug 29, 2025, 3:49 PM Aaron Liu <aaronliu0130@gmail.com> wrote:
