What is this

How many times have you been pairing on a feature and then when committing you had to manually paste their details for adding a Co-author to the commit?

This plugin automatically fetches author details from the repo's commit history and then adds it to your commit message.

It shows you a list of all the unique authors in your current repo on a nice fuzzy searchable list.

co-author.nvim automatically works with telescope and presents the list in a nice fuzzy searchable UI.

Here's a demo video for a quick walkthrough.

Inspiration

Noticed something similar on a co-workers using IntelliJ, and I wanted it!

-- Lazy
{
    '2kabhishek/co-author.nvim',
    dependencies = {
        'stevearc/dressing.nvim',
        'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
    },
    cmd = {'CoAuthor'},
},

-- Packer
use '2kabhishek/co-author.nvim'

Using co-author.nvim
