docums-git-authors-plugin 1.0

docums plugin to display git authors of a page

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:

• docums-git-revision-date-localized-plugin for displaying the last revision date

Setup

Install the plugin using pip3:

pip3 install docums-git-authors-plugin

Next, add the following lines to your docums.yml:

plugins:
  - search
  - git-authors

If you have no plugins entry in your config file yet, you'll likely also want to add the search plugin. Docums enables it by default if there is no plugins entry set.

You can then use the {{ git_page_authors }} tag in your markdown document, or choose to customize your docums theme (see usage page in the docs).

Note when using build environments

This plugin needs access to the last commit that touched a specific file to be able to retrieve the date. By default many build environments only retrieve the last commit, which means you might need to:

Change your CI settings
