These can't easily be viewed on UIs like GitHub, but need to be cloned to view the raw data. This simple tool implements a fast multi-threaded solution that outputs all unique authors from the given repositories.\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]   \n\u003e Not all results are guaranteed to be aliases of *one person*, as multiple people can work on the same repository via Collaborators and Pull Requests. Evaluate the results manually for matches.\n\n## Installation\n\n```bash\ncargo install gitauthors\n```\n\nOr **download** and **extract** a pre-compiled binary from the [Releases](https://github.com/JorianWoltjer/git-authors/releases) page.\n\n## Usage\n\nYou can pass any of the following types of URLs into this tool:\n\n* Any Git URL (eg. `https://github.com/JorianWoltjer/git-authors.git` or `git@github.com:JorianWoltjer/git-authors.git`)\n* GitHub Users (eg. `https://github.com/JorianWoltjer`)\n* GitHub Organizations (eg. `https://github.com/twitter`)\n\nThe simplest usage is passing such a URL as an argument (multiple supported):\n\n```bash\ngitauthors https://github.com/JorianWoltjer/git-authors\n```\n\nIf no arguments are provided, it listens on **stdin** for newline-separated URLs. This lets you pipe output form other commands (`|`) or files (`\u003c`) into it.\n\n```bash\ngitauthors \u003c urls.txt\n```\n\nThe `-t` option sets the number of threads to clone with. You may have enough bandwidth to increase it for faster downloading, but the default of 10 should be pretty quick already.\n\n```shell\n$ gitauthors --help\nUsage: gitauthors [OPTIONS] [URLS]...\n\nArguments:\n  [URLS]...  URLs of repositories, users or orgnizations\n\nOptions:\n  -t, --threads \u003cTHREADS\u003e  Number of simultaneous threads to clone with [default: 10]\n  -h, --help               Print help\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjorianwoltjer%2Fgit-authors","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjorianwoltjer%2Fgit-authors","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjorianwoltjer%2Fgit-authors/lists"}
