git authors [options]

git authors lists all contributors to a git repository. It extracts unique author information from the commit history, useful for generating contributor lists and AUTHORS files.
The command is part of git-extras, a collection of useful git utilities. It can output in various formats suitable for documentation or acknowledgment files.
The output can be redirected to create an AUTHORS file, which is a common convention in open source projects for crediting all contributors. The --no-email option produces a cleaner list suitable for public display.
