git-authors

Generate a list of committers of a Git repository.

$ git authors --list
copy


Append the list of committers to the AUTHORS file and open it in the default editor
$ git authors
copy


Append the list of committers, excluding emails, to the AUTHORS file and open it in the default editor
$ git authors --no-email
copy
