If you are working on a project and need to release often, you might need some automated scripts/commands to help you with the day-to-day tasks.
This tiny article is about one of these commands: List your git project contributors.
Give credit to people
When working on an open-source project, it's important to give credit to all the people who contribute to it.
To get the list of authors, we can run:
git log --all --format="%aN" | sort -u
Remember to add | sort -u to your log command. If you don't do it, the output will show the same author a bunch of times. Unless you want that, add the sort command to your pipe.
If you want to add the e-mails to the list, you can run:
git log --all --format="%aN <%aE>" | sort -u
