💖 GIT-CONTRIB — bestie's contributions, but make it a manpage

okay so hi, welcome to git-contrib(1), part of the Git Extras squad ✨ (the manual name is GIT-CONTRIB, section 1 — we're fancy like that). This little icon shows you a user's contributions to a project, and honestly? it eats.

🌸 NAME 🌸

git-contrib — Show user's contributions 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ngl the synopsis field on this page is literally empty. no cap, nothing there. 🙈 So if you want to see the actual shape of the command, peek at the EXAMPLES below, where it's doing its thing as git contrib <username>.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It outputs a user's contributions to a project, and it figures out whose contributions from either the author name or the email. Very main character of it.

And if more than one match exists? It returns multiple entries. So like, not a one-and-done situation — it'll give you everybody who matches. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • <username> — the name or the email of the user who owns the contributions. that's the whole vibe, that's the whole flag list, we love a single-option situation fr fr 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Searching with a username 🍓

$ git contrib visionmedia
visionmedia (18):
  Export STATUS_CODES
  Moved help msg to node-repl
  Added multiple arg support for sys.puts(), print(), etc.
  Fix stack output on socket error
  ...

Searching with a partial email 💌

$ git contrib tj@
visionmedia (18):
  Export STATUS_CODES
  Moved help msg to node-repl
  Added multiple arg support for sys.puts(), print(), etc.
  Fix stack output on socket error
  ...

note that the partial email search totally worked and spit out the same glorious list. partial matches are slaying. 🔥
