mob

Git commit co-authors for mob programming are set by running the mob command with team member names to assign co-authors for the next session. The tool maps names to initials and produces a final report listing all active co-authors.

When an unknown name is added to git co-authors during mob programming, the tool automatically infers an email and prompts for confirmation before adding them to the co-authors file, ensuring accurate attribution without breaking the session flow.

Yes, managing git commit co-authors for pair programming requires the git-mob tooling and a co-authors file. These dependencies allow the system to load existing mappings, handle solo mode, and set the active mob group correctly.

When setting git commit co-authors, ambiguous name matches trigger a confirmation prompt to ensure the correct team member is selected. This safe fallback prevents misattribution during pair or mob programming workflows.

Git mob applies to both solo and mob programming workflows. In solo mode, it reports the primary author, while in mob mode, it sets the active group and lists all co-authors for proper commit attribution.

If the co-authors file is missing before starting a mob session, the tool handles this edge case with safe fallbacks and prompts, allowing you to add unknown names with inferred emails upon confirmation to maintain workflow continuity.
