Git Identity & Commit History

Document: ENG-003Type: RunbookStatus: ApprovedOwner: Cloudberrie StudioVersion: 4.2.0Updated: 2026-07-17

Approved Commit Identity

Git author name	Cloudberrie Engineering
Git author email	engineering@cloudberrie.com
GitHub account	cb-engops
Organization contact	accounts@cloudberrie.com

Attribution rule: GitHub links a commit to an account when the commit email is verified on that account.

Why a Personal Account Appeared

The local Git configuration initially used an email already linked to another personal GitHub account. Repository ownership remained with the organization, but GitHub displayed that personal account beside earlier commits.

Repository owner and commit author are separate concepts. The screenshot recorded the attribution issue before correction.

Rewrite a New Repository’s Commit Authors

Use only for a new repository with no collaborators or deployed dependencies. Rewriting history changes commit hashes.

git config user.name "Cloudberrie Engineering"
git config user.email "engineering@cloudberrie.com"
git branch backup-before-author-fix
git rebase -i --root --exec 'git commit --amend --no-edit --reset-author'

Save the interactive rebase plan without changing the commit lines. Resolve any README conflict:

git status
# edit README.md and remove conflict markers
git add README.md
git rebase --continue

Repeat until Git reports that the rebase completed. Then validate:

git log --format='%h | %an <%ae>' --reverse
git status

Update GitHub:

git push --force-with-lease origin main

Private Repository 404

GitHub may return a 404 for a private repository when the browser is signed into the wrong account or the organization context has not been selected. Navigate through cb-engops → Organizations → cloudberrie-studio → Repositories.

A private-repository 404 does not prove the repository was deleted. Verify organization membership and Terminal access.
