[neomutt-devel] git mailmaps

[Richard Russon]

I only briefly mentioned that the mailmap affects git log, too.

If you use the %aN (author name) and %aE (author email) formatting
strings, then the fields will be looked-up in the mailmap.

The internet has thousands of guides and examples to git aliases and
logging, but here's a simple example.  Add this to your git config:

[alias]
    ln = log --format=named
    lc = log --format=column
[pretty]
    named = %C(204)%h%Creset %s %C(white dim)(%aN)%Creset
    column = %C(204)%h% C(white dim)%<(12,trunc)%aN%Creset %s
[mailmap]
	file = ~/management/git/mailmap-nick

$ git ln
