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.
