docums-git-authors-plugin

Lightweight Docums plugin to display git authors of a markdown page:

Authors: Jane Doe, John Doe

See the demo. The plugin only considers authors of the current lines in the page ('surviving code' using git blame).

Other Docums plugins that use information from git:

Setup

Install the plugin using pip3:

pip3 install docums-git-authors-plugin
