This AI contributor got accidentally added to one of my older commits while using Claude for push.

Hi, Parker.

Since the claude account is linked to the email address used in that accidental commit, GitHub assumes they're a contributor. To get them off the list, you have to actually rewrite your git history to change the author information for those specific commits.

If it's just one or two older commits, the "standard" way to fix it is using an interactive rebase:

1. Use git rebase -i --root --committer-date-is-author-date to go back to those commits.
2. Change pick to edit for the ones you want to fix.
3. Run git commit --amend --author="jacqpark <jpark9510@gmail.com>" --no-edit to put yourself back as the author.
4. Run git rebase --continue. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the rebase is complete.
5. Continue the rebase and then do a git push --force-with-lease to update the repo.

Just a heads up: Since you seem to already rewrite commit history, you just have to wait a couple weeks / months for the contributors graph to update. If you don't want to wait, here is a trick that worked for me: change branch name from main to main1. Then change the name back (main1 to main). That should work. Your branches link here

Hope that helps! If it solves the problem, feel free to mark this as the answer. It helps other people with the same issue find the fix faster.
