git author brew tap doesn't work properly #23

We followed the instructions in README.md to brew install pivotal/tap/git-author. After doing this, we were able to successfully run git author ak sb and it printed out the git commit template. However, even after reloading the terminal, git commit -v was not using the git commit template.

To solve the issue, we had to brew uninstall pivotal/tap/git-author and then run the setup.sh which worked perfectly.

Possible solution:

  1. Fix the problem in the homebrew tap
  2. Remove the Mac OS instructions from the README.md and just use Linux instructions for everyone

Note the issue may have to do with the git-together tap not properly installing.

I had a similar issue. I created the Alias with the following command and it fixed it for me

alias git=git-together
