Pair Commits

Sometimes you'll work on a feature by pairing with someone else. Creating pair commits would be the best way to demonstrate that both worked on it.

Here is how to do it :

First, you'll need the username & email adress used by your pair in their Github account.

After your commit description, instead of a closing quotation, add two empty lines :

$ git commit -m "Aol feature implementation.
>
>

On the next line of the commit message, type Co-authored-by: name <name@example.com> with specific information for each co-author. After the co-author information, add a closing quotation mark.

git commit -m "Aol feature implementation.
>
>
Co-authored-by: NAME <NAME@EXAMPLE.COM>"
