Aliasing/combining Git user names #105

Closed AndrewC-B closed 8 years ago

AndrewC-B commented 8 years ago

Some Git users (especially new ones) make the mistake of setting their Git username to different values on different development machines. This leads to apparently fragmented contributions in GitInspectors output.

Is there a way to to tell GitInspector to combine contributions for a collection of user names and treat them as the same contributor? If not, could this please be treated as a feature request 😊

Hi.

Yes there is. Git itself has a fix for this. Please refer to the FAQ. First question at the top.

Ah! Thank you very much! Sorry about that. I appreciate the help.
