Why use with?

with makes it easy to credit everyone who contributed in a pair programming or in a mob programming. It acknowledges the team effort leveraging Co-authored-by Github feature without you having to remember your team member's email address or worrying about spelling their last name correctly.

By programmatically crediting everyone, Github can filter commits based on each author and have accurate portrayal of code contribution.

It's written in bash for minimal dependency.

Usage

You can add your pair partner

$ with dh

Co-authored-by: Don Han <don@han.com>

Or add multiple co-authors

$ with dh ag

Co-authored-by: Don Han <don@han.com>
Co-authored-by: Abhishek Gayakwad <abhishek@gayakwad.com>

Clear all co-authors

$ with

Then when you are ready, git commit and the co-author field should be pre-populated.

For Rdar Users

$ with rdar://12343214 dh ag

<rdar://12343214>


Co-authored-by: Don Han <don@han.com>

Setup Instruction

Take a look at setup.sh before running to make sure it doesn't replace your setup

1. Clone this repo and cd into the repo
2. Run bash setup.sh (this moves the repo to ~/)
3. Populate ~/.git-with/authors.csv with nickname, full name and email address
4. (optional) Share the authors.csv with your team

Current Limitations

• Cleans git commit template everytime it's called, so if you like to have a custom git commit template, you might have to find a workaround
• If nickname cannot be found, it writes Co-authored-by: <>
• Does not work with git commit -m
