# GitCoAuth
GitCoAuth is a **simple .NET Core Global Tool** that will help you generate **co-authorship commit lines**, as you should.
## Usage
After installing, run it passing your co-author's *GitHub username* as a parameter.
For instance:
```
gitcoauth lorenzck
```
will output the following line (and it will also automatically try to copy it to your clipboard):
```
Co-authored-by: Lorenz Cuno Klopfenstein
```
Append the line to your commit message [following this GitHub guide](https://github.blog/2018-01-29-commit-together-with-co-authors/) (that is leaving at least one empty line between the commit message and the co-authorship trailer).
Once committed and pushed to GitHub, you and your co-authors will all have ownership of the commit. ✌
## Installation
Run the following command from shell:
```
dotnet tool install -g dotnet-gitcoauth
```
To uninstall the tool again:
```
dotnet tool uninstall -g dotnet-gitcoauth
```
