Hi there,
I did something dumb I think.
I pushed my first aur package, but it doesn't show up in the webinterface. I'm pretty sure that it's because I didn't change the git username before pushing (my default git username differs from my aur username).
I read that it's "very difficult" to change after pushing, but I couldn't find further information about how to do it in the wiki.
On stackoverflow I read that it is possible with:
git commit --amend --author="Author Name <email@address.com>"
git push -f
But i'm a littlebit scared that i could mess it up completely, since I already pushed multiple times before I recognized the problem.
Can anybody tell me if the --amend option is a good idea or where to find better information?
Thanks

FYI, users neither not have permission to amend commits nor force push to the AUR.

The git username doesn't matter. What package are we talking about?

It's the package iwdrofimenu-git.
I tried to push the same PKGBUILD with name changed to iwdrofimenu-test-git and correct username and this one worked.
Also here it says that the git name is used: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_su … ge_content

Ok.. I'm kind of embarrassed now.... I think I pushed not to aur but too github accidentially.
