    How to create a homemade .mailmap file


copy one from someone whose work you trust so you know the format

command curl --location --remote-name \
  'https://web.archive.org/web/0id_/github.com/wincent/wincent/raw/f2598a0cdc/.mailmap'

list all names and email addresses in your repository’s commit history

command git log --pretty='%an <%ae>%n%cn <%ce>' |
  LC_ALL='C' command sort -u

then keep editing .mailmap until satisfied with the output of the
following command

command git shortlog --summary --numbered --email --all |
  command cut -f 2 |
  LC_ALL='C' command sort -u
