shelljs-plugin-authors

A ShellJS plugin for generating a nicely formatted list of authors.

Usage

Let's assume that we're inside a git repo, and the output of git shortlog -se gives us something like:

    24  Andrew Powlowski <Andrew_Powlowski@yahoo.com>
    39  Gregorio Heaney <Gregorio.Heaney43@yahoo.com>
    55  Miller Reichel <Miller_Reichel@yahoo.com>
    70  Mervin Graham <Mervin69@yahoo.com>
    99  Hallie Paucek <Hallie.Paucek@yahoo.com>

We want to generate a nicely formatted list of authors sorted alphabetically by author name. There are two ways to do that with this module, first you can use it as a ShellJS plugin:

1const shell = require('shelljs')
2require('shelljs-plugin-authors')
3const authors = shell.authors()
4shell.echo(authors.stdout)
5/*
6Andrew Powlowski <Andrew_Powlowski@yahoo.com>
7Gregorio Heaney <Gregorio.Heaney43@yahoo.com>
8Miller Reichel <Miller_Reichel@yahoo.com>
9Mervin Graham <Mervin69@yahoo.com>
10Hallie Paucek <Hallie.Paucek@yahoo.com>
11*/

Or you can use it via the CLI:

$ shelljs-authors
Andrew Powlowski <Andrew_Powlowski@yahoo.com>
Gregorio Heaney <Gregorio.Heaney43@yahoo.com>
Miller Reichel <Miller_Reichel@yahoo.com>
Mervin Graham <Mervin69@yahoo.com>
Hallie Paucek <Hallie.Paucek@yahoo.com>

If you'd prefer the list be sorted by number of commits per author, pass the -n option:

1const shell = require('shelljs')
2require('shelljs-plugin-authors')
3const authors = shell.authors('-n')
4shell.echo(authors.stdout)
5/*
6Hallie Paucek <Hallie.Paucek@yahoo.com>
7Mervin Graham <Mervin69@yahoo.com>
8Miller Reichel <Miller_Reichel@yahoo.com>
9Gregorio Heaney <Gregorio.Heaney43@yahoo.com>
10Andrew Powlowski <Andrew_Powlowski@yahoo.com>
11*/

$ shelljs-authors -n
Hallie Paucek <Hallie.Paucek@yahoo.com>
Mervin Graham <Mervin69@yahoo.com>
Miller Reichel <Miller_Reichel@yahoo.com>
Gregorio Heaney <Gregorio.Heaney43@yahoo.com>
Andrew Powlowski <Andrew_Powlowski@yahoo.com>
