Reattribute commit from different emails to one user/email address

If you have projects on your github that contain commits you made with another email address, this project is for you!

It allows you to standardize your work to rewrite all the old commits of your old work so that they are saved with your new email address.

## Before



## After



## And it's not all!

You can also execute any type of command on all repositories, for example : delete all `.DS_Store` files, or delete all `.pyc` files.

For this, you just have to modify the file `actions-git.sh` to add your own command. This command will be executed on each repository. (It can be very long if you have a lot of repositories)
