I have already changed my username and email on Git.
Anyway I am still seeing the J. Doe commits when I update the version of the build via the workflow and commit it to the repository. There is anyway I can change the J. Doe to something custom?

[viktorbenei]

Sure @matiasj, just add a Script step as the first step in the workflow and follow this guide: https://devcenter.bitrise.io/builds/setting-your-git-credentials-on-build-machines/
