✨ NAME ✨

git-coauthor — bestie, this is the one that adds a co-author to your last commit 🫶

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

git-coauthor <co-author> <co-author-email>

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: you just pushed... no wait, you just committed, and you forgot to credit your bestie. Classic. 😭

git-coauthor adds a co-author to the last commit. That's it. That's the whole vibe. No cap, it's giving "credit where credit is due" and honestly? Iconic. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • <co-author> — the username of the co-author you wanna add. Just the name, babe, nothing else.
  • <co-author-email> — the email address of the author you want to add. Yes, the original page says "author" here and not "co-author", and I am not about to gaslight you by pretending otherwise. Type it exactly like it is. 💀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

$ git coauthor user user@email.com

That's it! That's the example! Short, sweet, ate and left no crumbs. 💖
