Expected Committer Name Git Push Issue

Question

I'm trying to commit/Push some code to GIT, but when I tried to commit the code using SourceTree it gave me an error:

remote: Push rejected.[K
remote: 
remote: refs/heads/Branch Details: 6a5d6d4cdd53db591e53db78c51225a619af487f: expected committer name 'Your Name Complete' but found 'Your Name'[K
remote:

Commit is done, but code is not pushed to remote.

I just noticed in the Global setting that my was "Your Name" and I changed it (TO: Your Name Complete) in Global configuration, also verified the name in Tools --> Options and its showing "Your Name Complete" now. I also tried:

git config --global user.name "Correct User Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

but still unable to Push the changes, still the same error can any one help me to push the code to remote repository?

Answer 1

Following the example of this blog post (it was for a tag, in your case it is for a branch HEAD), you would need to amend at least just the branch HEAD you want to push:

git commit --amend --allow-empty --author="LastName, FirstName <[email protected]>"

And then push.

Answer 2

I faced the same issue, reverting the changes, and then updating the git config and recommitting worked for me.
