[Feature]: Add {{author}} to the commit template about obsidian-git HOT 4 CLOSED

I've added the feature now myself, but thanks for offering to contribute. There are now two new options in the settings.

from obsidian-git.

What's the benefit of showing the author name in the commit message if the commit already contains the author, which is shown in git log or GitHub commit history as well?

Thank your for your response.

The benefit is to see it in the history view in obsidian :
.

I think I went from the idea of the {{date}} that is also in the commit. That Backup is the backup of the modification by X at T. it was simple and customizable.

But you are right that it could be directly displayed in the history view from the commit info instead of embedded in the message, that would probably imply having a set of options similar to the line-authoring. Allowing to customize

• Author name display (none, initials, fullname...)
• Author name position (before|after)
• Authoring date display

Would you be interested in a PR to support that feature ?

Thank you for adding that feature!
It would have been a pleasure to contribute directly as I really appreciate your plugin.
I'll gladly contribute to other issues if you are interested.

Best,
