Using authorsΒΆ
First, select a project whose contributors you want to thank and change to its working directory (the directory in which the .git
subdirectory resides).
[user@host ~]$ cd example-project
Then, run git
with the log
command and the --format
option, redirecting standard output to authors
.
[user@host example-project]$ git log --format=%an | authors
Finally, add and commit the newly-created AUTHORS
file.
[user@host example-project]$ git add AUTHORS
[user@host example-project]$ git commit
