We want to give visibility to everyone contributing to the repo. You can follow the next steps
To configure your user in all PC repositories:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email your-github-username@users.noreply.github.com
Please substitute Your Name
with the name you want to appear in the commits and your-github-username
with your GitHub username.
Tips and tricks: the alias your-github-username@users.noreply.github.com
is a your default hidden email in Github. You can also use your real email if you prefer.
To configure your user in a single repository:
git config user.name "Your Name"
git config user.email your-github-username@users.noreply.github.com
To view the user and email configured in the repository:
git config user.name
git config user.email
After making a contribution to the repo that is significant enough, please go ahead and add your name to AUTHORS.md, in the section of contributors. Please follow the alphabetic sorting.
