How do I change the default author and committer in the Eclipse Git plugin?

I am using the Git plugin for Eclipse. I have several authors and committers which are displayed when I start typing in those fields.

How can I provide changes to this list, or remove some author or committer?

Also I want to set my default author and committer which will be displayed by default.

The git commit --amend --reset-author --no-edit command is especially useful if you created commits with the wrong author information, then set the correct author after-the-fact via git config . Saved my a$$ just now when I had to update my email.

How do I change Git settings in Eclipse?

In your Eclipse IDE, select the Window Preferences Version Control (Team) Git Configuration entry. Configure your full name and email in the user settings. As the Eclipse IDE uses the same settings as the Git command line, this might already be done. For the user the user.name key is used, for the email the user.
