Hi. It’s possible to change username and email in all self-hosted instance of GitLab?
I can change all usernames and all authors name and committers name in all repositories, but it doesn’t change commits references in closed-merged merges requests and CI/CD jobs.
I try to modify the author_id and commiter_id in “merge_request_diff_commits” table and if I do a GET request to https://<gitlab-instance>/api/v4/projects/<project-id>/merge_requests/<mr-id>/commits
I get the modified author and committer
But, if I go to
https://<gitlab-instance>/<group>/<project>/-/merge_requests/<mr-id>/diffs_metadata.json?commit_id=<commit-id>&diff_hea
d=true&view=inline&w=0
on the browser, I get the old author and committer name.
I restart the instance multiple times and it’s the same
It’s something that I missing? The instance is running on Docker and the image running is docker.io/gitlab/gitlab-ce:15.10.4-ce.0
. The config is the default (only changes nginx and domains stuffs).
