You are sending a PR upstream.

You accidentally commit it with the wrong email.

First, you prevent this mistake from happening again by updating your
`~/.gitconfig`.

And now you need to fix the most recent commit.

You can easily do so with:

```shell
% git commit --amend --reset-author --no-edit
```

Alternatively, with [my aliases](https://github.com/thiagowfx/.dotfiles):

```shell
git uncommit && git recommit
```
