git-pair
A git porcelain for changing user.name and user.email so you can commit as
more than one author.
Usage
Install the gem:
gem install edgecase-git-pair
And here's how to use it!
$ git pair
General Syntax:
git pair [reset | authors | options]
Options:
-a, --add AUTHOR Add an author. Format: "Author Name <author@example.com>"
-r, --remove NAME Remove an author. Use the full name.
-d, --reset Reset current author to default (global) config
Switching authors:
git pair aa [bb] Where AA and BB are any abbreviation of an
author's name. You can specify one or more authors.
Current config:
Author list: Adam McCrea
Jon Distad
Current author: Jon Distad + Adam McCrea
Current email: devs+jd+am@edgecase.com
How does it work?
The list of authors is maintained in the global git configuration file.
The current author is set in the git configuration local to the project.
The email address for a pair is generated using the default email address
from the global configuration along with the developer abbreviations.
About this version
This was forked from http://github.com/chrisk/git-pair. Many thanks to Chris Kampmeier for the original version. Our version added the --reset option, modified how email addresses are handled, and refactored much of the code.
