Is there a way to list the commit's author in `git rebase -i` (interactive)?
As of git 2.6, git rebase -i
uses rebase.instructionFormat
(default %s
) to generate the text after pick NNNNN...
.
Since this is a git-config
item, you can set the value per repository, for yourself in general, or even using the -c
option on a one-time basis.
EDIT:
As jdknight suggested in the comments, the specific command for this would be:
git config --add rebase.instructionFormat "(%an <%ae>) %s"
or, to avoid item repetition, as oalders suggested, you can instead set the config globally:
git config --global rebase.instructionFormat "(%an <%ae>) %s"
git -c "rebase.instructionFormat=(%an <%ae>) %s" rebase -i COMMIT_HASH
Interactive output is going to look as follows:
pick b596a7b (Nik Sumeiko <[email protected]>) Refactors type checking utilities
pick c8b815f (Attila Kerekes <[email protected]>) Implements commit message linting
Edit your .gitconfig
to add:
[rebase]
instructionFormat = %s [%an]
That will show the short commit message and then the author name in square brackets.
