Removing a contributor from github.com?

Question

How to remove a contributor from showing on the project main page:

The link https://help.github.com/articles/removing-a-collaborator-from-a-personal-repository/ says that this is possible in the settings, but I do not see any co-authors there:

Answer 1

You cannot (at least without rewriting history, which is extremely unjustified).

These users record the history of your repository, and therefore lines of code were added by them. Even if you delete all of your lines of code, they will still appear as a contributor.

Participants are not employees.

. , filter-branch, . script:

git filter-branch --env-filter '
if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" = "OLD NAME" ]; then \
    export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="NEW NAME" GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="[e-mail]"; \
fi
